I wonder if you are thinking about the same receiver as I
am..............the R388 had 30 bands, in 1 MHz increments, from .5 to 30.5MHz. This unit had 1kHz readout throughout the range. I've owned the HRO 60-T, and while it was a good receiver, it still wasn't as good as a properly working R388. You are right about that audio output stage on the National receiver, though. It did sound good. Same thing about those Johnson products. That VFO was a work of wonder. Pete Roger Brown wrote in message ... Stay with Johnson products. DX-100 OK but Heath gear was mechanically inferior in comparison. As to a receiver - go with the HRO-60. Beats any of the Collins for audio fidelity and output, although not as mechanically well built. The HRO's superior bandspread is another advantage you'll lose with a 388. That's my preference. Roger Brown, KL7Q "Charles" wrote in message .. . Go with the DX-100 B Much better Transmitter "Dave" wrote in message news.com... In the future I would like to set up an AM station for the low bands (just 160m, 80m, and 40m) and am doing some research as to what equipment I should be looking for. What I use I think is awesome. Heathkit DX-100 (not the B version) and a Collins R388 housed in a matching DX-100 cabinet. The two make a 'pair' that way - the R388 fits the DX-100 case exactly, and they look terrific together. And the AM quality of the plate modulated DX-100 beats any of the smaller AM rigs out there. Also makes a fantastic CW setup, and the R388 is a very delightful all-wave SW receiver to boot. That's my vote Dave WB7AWK |
