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 WinRadio G313i by far. Noise floor -138 dBm and the continuously
adjustable IF filter let's you adjust the IF bandwidth to precisely
match the bandwidth of the signal. No other receiver comes close.

R-390

B.H.

The Collins should win this contest hands down. Nothing, to my knowledge,
ever had a lower noise floor. The story is that it was only limited by the
Galactic background noise level. You can't do any better than that.
