I started thinking about this tonight. I was tuning around with a Lowe
HF-150, comparing it with some other receivers, and was struck by how
quiet the 150 is--and by what an advantage this is when it comes to
resolving weak AM signals.

So, just out of curiosity, what's the quietest receiver you've used
and/or owned?

The quietest receiver I ever owned was a Scott RX-200 (same radio as the
Grundig S-350 or Tecsun BCL-2000) that I bought off of E-Bay. It was very
quiet as it was DOA.
