The Palstar R30 is one heck of a good receiver. If you can live without bells
and whistles, and want a solid radio that can handle big antennas without
overload, this one is for you.

I don't think the collins filters are much better than the Murata.

I love my R30 and have run it with 700 ft of wire for an antenna ... no BCB
overload.

Highly recommended.
