That's what I'm looking for thanks. Is one any better with updates than the
other? I've ordered the 2009 Passport, just waiting for it to arrive late
December I'm told. Still I find myself pening in new frequencies quite a
bit and it's nice to have a reliable source for that material. Thanks for
the information.
OT: I just purchased a new HD 250 gig for the C: drive and found out it
wasn't a faulty drive after all. The ribbon cable apparently developed a
disconnect at one of the plug ends. Vibration I guess. Second guess is
that the cable was made in China.
I do enjoy the hobby, when time permits, utes especially. Just waiting
like everyone else for conditions to improve.
I do have a few receivers as well:
Drake R8 Just the way it is .... nice.
Icom R-75 Kiwa audio mod forthcoming
Icom R71A Have memory board and Kiwa filters yet to install. Very
well made, has that PRO look.
Yaesu FRG-7700 Another nice oldie
Yaesu FRG-7 This one too.
Grundig "Satellit 800" Big
Grundig 750 YUK! Looks nice though. Not all that great on
batteries.
Grundig G5 One of my favorites Nice hefty, rubbery non-slip feel.
Grundig/Eton S350DL Recent Kiwa audio upgrade. $22 was worth it.
Grundig S350
Grundig YB 400
Grudig YB 500 Another favorite with RDS for FM

A few service manuals as well as 55 Sams Transistor Servicing manuals
(approx. 20 sets per manual) sets from the 50's through 60's.
Just a hobby!
Some people go through cars and women, I prefer radios! Much cheaper but
harder to find space for.

I swear by, not at, Drake receivers.
