Widening the field abit, I'd recommend looking also at AOR's AR-7030+,
Palstar's R30 (and its variants), Ten-Tec's RX-320D, RX-350, RX-340, and
if you can find them, Lowe's HF-150, HF-225, and HF-250. Though HF-150
isn't in quite the same class as the others. Basic, small...but its lack
of features is more than offset by it's potent performance.


I notice you didn't include the R-75 in that list. How come?




Because I wasn't thinking about it at the time.
