I have an HQ-145X that I recapped a few years ago. I've not listened to
it recently but remember that back when it was new I was rather
disappointed by its mediocre stability on CW. But I was very happy with
my HQ-110, which was a good ham receiver for its time.

I am looking forward to getting the radio, as a kid in jr. high, my

Thanks in advance

I have restored a 140X and I live it. Use it mostly on 160, 80 and 40 as
well as casual SW listening.

Oh, dear, I need to be more careful. I was writing about the HQ-140X,
not the 145 although some of the stuff applies.
