What I was really saying is that the Palstar R30 will make a nice
radio for listening to the AM broadcast bands.

Bjarne is dead right, the Icom IC-R75 will run rings around it when it
comes to serious DX though.

For those of you fella's that don't know Bjarne he is one of the
worlds top DXer's and is very modest about his great DX catches and
his many excellent equipment reviews to be found on his blogspot that
he doesn't advertise.

You will see lots of useful info on his site:

including sone stuff on the R75

Hi John. thanks for the web site. nice. i'm with you on
the Palstar. it goes to my favorite park when the weather
is clear. i just wish it had a better battery set-up. i
like the Lowe 150 batteries from the rear better. but, it
is a fine receiver, big seller in Europe under the Lowe
350 mark. and, i feel they are pricing themselves out of
a narrow market.

Drifter...
