Not to say you aren't telling the truth Mike McM, but it always
cracks me up when someone posts (to of all places) here in RRS
when "they are looking for a receiver".....and eight out of ten
times it is always in the range of something like you stated or
more.....lol.

Raises a valid point however... There is no useful FAQ for this
N.G.; such a document, updated regularly, with comprehensive
reviews of specs and performance data for boatanchor and modern
receivers would permit readers to make informed purchasing
decisions. *The O.P. also asked for recommendations on the
integrity of sellers; this is a valid question, and answers other
than 'Universal Radio' would likely be welcomed by many readers.
Certainly there are printed resources, commercial websites and
archived N.G. threads that with effort would yield some data, but
an effort to create a useful FAQ should be undertaken IMHO as a
centralized resource for promoting the radio art and best
practices.

Hi, Forget the request on my post I got a good receiver from
Universal Radio.

Hey Mike, what did you get? What model? New or used?
