I have had many radios over the years. Oldest: 1923 Kennedy 311 one tube reg. and up to my Yaesu ft-100d. I could find no diff between a Collins 75-a4 and my Icom 720a on receive. Even my National NC 100X/HRO 60 and 500 were not any better. You did need to know how to use them right but they worked as well as any. Transmitter? CE-100V with the 600L works as well as my Hallicrafters HT-32a and 33 set-up.

Long live the low-receiver-noise analog sets of the late 70s/early 80s. :yes:

Ten Tec Corsair or Corsair II.

These too. My only gripe with the rig is the audio-derived AGC but a Passband board from an Omni V or Paragon will fix that.

Knew this guy, same guy, smoked cigars but had to have the strongest cigar available on the market AND HE INHALED THEM. Knew another guy (nope, still the same guy) who quite smoking, took up vaping but had to have the biggest mod available. He started buying machine shop tools and started making devices ... then one day he just stopped.

Uh, yeah.....

I know that guy. I think I met him once.
