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.

I don't recommend the HF-150; you can't get it serviced.
