Hi,

Thank you.

How much do you want to spend? Do you want to buy a new receiver or
are you also considering used ones?

I'm surprised that nobody has included the venerable Collins general
coverage receivers such as the 51J-4, R-388 and R-390 (and their
variants). Reliability is implicit in these rigs and there is no
lack of community support for ongoing maintenance. When I need
a reference receiver for experiments or calibrations, I fire up
the 51J-4.
