It was *rare* that anyone had a persistent chirp. If someone had chirp they fixed it; sometimes with a hammer. Even some crystal chirp faults could be fixed by a little work on the bevel of the crystal's edge. Chirp is for the birds. Swing is for those who have it, not make it. Yes, real radios glow in the dark, but today's fake radios have better specs and DO perform better. My old line through 60 years included BC-312, a couple HROs, HQ-129X, NC-125, SX-100, GPR-90, 51J-4, some homebrew, and some I don't recall, but I like my R71A better than all of them. Nostalgia looks great on a shelf. A 300W plate modulated signal using an old D-104 mike on 75M still sounds great. Don |
