I am interested in buying one of these and need to make a decision of which one does what.
I did look up the reviews on eham. It was good but lacked a bit of comparitive info.
Thanks

The 170 is amateur bands only.
The 145 and 180 are both general coverage; the 145 is double-conversion, the 180 is triple conversion.
The "X" indicates that it has crystal sockets for fixed monitoring.
The "A" means that it has a solid-state rectifier.
If you can get a good price, go for the HQ180A definitely.
