On the difference between the Europa and the regular HF-150, I'd
take the
Europa. The input filtering is likely to be more useful than any
loss in
sensitivity.


I can believe this. However, in that case I wonder whether the HF-150E
has anything over a standard HF-150 attached to a good quality highpass
filter. The 150 I use had very few problems with intermodulation even
here in the NYC metropolitan area. What few problems it did have were
cleared up completely by a Kiwa highpass filter. I already had the
filter lying around, but even new it would cost a lot less than a
Europa...and there are some high quality highpass filters out there
that cost less than Kiwa's.

On the other hand, you might just want a Europa because it's a
Europa...I can understand that too.
