I have to shake my head at your over the top response.
BDK, you need not worry about this one, he's a close friend
of Alex Jones.

Oh boy.

NOW, can we please get this newsgroup back
on topic? BTW, i just got a second 515, this one is full
stock and unmodded. my other, first one has the delta mod,
and the extra filter. this one is so quiet, i had to check
the time pips to be sure it was working.

Drifter...

I wish I could buy a friend's that's probably going to be up for sale
soon, it's a Gilfer like mine, and is in about the same condition, with
the delta tune mod too. I'm not sure about the filters. Mine is quieter
than his is for some reason.

I got the NRD-92 here also. (with the lite green enclosure). it's really
just a rack, marine version of the 515. it's as good, or maybe better,
than my Drake MSR-2/ Radio marine R-7. both are super on LW. which was
the reason i added them both to my collection. when it's NDB's, they
hear about the same. the drake is a bit better on SW. but, that 92 has
got to be the quieter of the 2. i hit a few web pages on the JRC, and
the comments are always how quiet the 515 is. another quirk in the 515
is that dead spot in MW. from .6 to about .9, you got to tune the
BFO a bit to get and separate signals/stations. could be that i'm only
35 miles east of Pittsburgh. too many stations here, but, it's not like
a front end overload. and none of my other receivers do this. so, it's
maybe just a quirk of the JRC. this newsgroup needs more radio post.

Drifter...

I don't really listen to BC stuff, so I never really noticed anything
odd. I have had a lot of other receivers, and they come and go, but the
515 stays. I sure wish I could have grabbed up my friend's one, it's
untouched from the day it came out of Gilfer in 1982.
