Albrecht is one of the names used by Midland, along with Alan and CTE. I would be very surprised if those are the same products as the HTX-10 and HTX-100 due to the very likelihood of component obsolescence.Originally Posted by KC2UGV

Might be newer versions of them.
I had an HTX-100 quite a few years back. Fun little rig to have in the van, back when 10 could be counted on to be open most days. Wouldn't mind having another one or a similar one... as long as it's a real 10 meter rig, not something masquerading as such, if you know what I mean.

Nevermind, I guess.... Looks like they're no more, as I can't find their site.
The link depends on the country you are in. The general site for Europe is http://www.midlandeurope.com/en/cate...dio-cb#vhf-uhf CTE is their international distributor and Alan Electronics distributes products regionally. Their German site has Amateur equipment listed. https://www.alan-electronics.de/Prod...ndgeraete.aspx
The Shack is dead.
Sprint is also just about dead.
Encrypt everything. Even if you have nothing to hide. It increases the noise floor.
I am reminded that there is more neat stuff on Amazon. Not AR stuff though unless you want a $33 UV5R (version whatever). Don't get me wrong. Those are excellent 2m HH rigs. You can find the YaeKenCom HF rigs but at full retail. I miss Heathkit even though I only built the digital (flouroscreen) clock. My cousin and uncle built the big GR-64 or something like it in that line. It was wired to an outdoor dipole directly on a canal of the South Florida coast. I spent hours spinning dials when I had the chance although I have to admit that my tiny little Tecsun PL-660 puts it to shame. I know, apples and oranges. I have been able to test the Tecsun in various locations as it is just larger than a paperback. NC mountains, Key West, rest stop in Eastern Tennessee, the big cliff face known as Caesars Head only a couple of miles from the SC/NC state line on the SC side just to name 4. I want to start taking the ArgoV places. That will require a little more forethought on my part. The main thing planning what antenna and how. The spool of wire has always served me well on a steep rock face.

Oh yeah. I was going to say something about Lafayette in that last post. I went to a Lafayette once AND a Heathkit store!
