I have the following receivers coming in soon that I want to investigate
any
possible mods that can be done. I already know what Kiwa can do so those
don't need to be mentioned.

AOR AR3030
Drake SW-2
Palstar R30C
Lowe HF-150

I will as usual be investigating upgrading the IF filters but any other
known mods would be interesting to hear about

thanks to all with the good stuff to contribute.



The SW2 will need a rotary encoder.



True indeed, but it's a fine radio!


The SW2 may not use the same mechanical tuning encoder as the R8B. I
know the encoder on the SW8 is different than the R8B. I've never had
any problem with the SW8 encoder.
