If by "expanded coverage" you mean the addition of the LW band on the 160,
that is seen by some as a negative. The fifth band added to the same-size
window makes it slightly more crowded and hard to read, and there's nothing
to listen to on LW anymore. Wasted space.

They are a fun to use radio if you enjoy bandspread tuning. There are
more similarities than differences between the 150, 150A, 150B and
160. However, in reference to the auction comments I would say the
150b had a slight edge because of the relatively improved selectivity
from a mechanical filter and the 160 because of extended coverage.


Best of luck with the auction.- Hide quoted text -

I think I said something like "slight edge". That series is best
viewed as four very similar radios with each subsequent one offering a
small improvement. Whether you listen to LW or not isn't the issue.
The capability of the radio was improved, if slightly.
