I have or have had some of the same radios that you mentioned, all of them
good radios in their own right. It sounds like you have a pretty good
antenna setup. You know the one thing I need right now is a "radio only"
desk. I saw a picture of DX Ace's desk setup sometime back and he has a
really nice setup. It wasn't fancy just clean looking and well thought out.

By the way... I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one with too many radios
and still wanting more.

Yes the antenna I had was not the best but that was not really what I

dissatisfied with. I dunno... there's just something about spinning
dial/knobs on a real radio. Spinning knobs via mouse just seemed a
little
odd. Of course there are a lot more functions and versatility with a
computer aided radio. Oh yeah... talk about a nice, big, easy to read
display... There are none better.

What type of antenna are you using on your 320? Correct me if I'm wrong
but
I thing the only difference between the 320 and the 320D is that the D
is
DRM capable. Not a big deal in my book. Maybe I could find a deal on a
used
320 on Ebay...



Is the 320 your primary/only SW radio?


No. I sometimes get attacks of the 'spinning dial/knobs on a real radio'
syndrome. My latest new (to me) radio is a well maintained Kenwood
R1000. Some of the other sets include a Zenith Trans Oceanic R7000,
Sangean 909 and RS 398, Yaesu FRG 9600, FRG 7 and a Kenwood R2000.
They're all fun and get rotated into usage when the urge moves me.

I have a straight 100 foot (30 meter, approx) antenna about seventeen
feet off the ground and oriented in a north/south direction. Coaxial
lead in.
