Hammarlund PRO-310 ??
It missed the mark in its day but today they're scarce and quite
collectible. I recall reading the review back in 56 when I was in high school and have been after one ever since. this is the second one I've ever seen. Kinda like if there was only one dandelion everyone would like to have in their lawn. -- 73 Hank WD5JFR "Richard Knoppow" wrote in message .. . "COLIN LAMB" wrote in message nk.net... The PRO-310 is a gorgeous receiver. Unfortunately, it has a case built inside a case and is very difficult to work on. On the broadcast band, it is single conversion, which presents a problem for images. There were two different color models and they were too expensive to manufacture. They are certainly collector's items. Colin K7FM Well, lots of receivers are single conversion on the broadcast band and do not have image problems. It seems to me that the PRO-310 did have some problems, something to do with the gain structure I think. It got fixed but they were simply too expensive to compete at the time. For about the same price one could buy a 75A4, which is arguably a better ham receiver and could buy RX such as the GPR-90 for less money. It would be interesting to know the story behind the PRO-310, it was beautiful, worked well, but just missed the mark. -- --- Richard Knoppow Los Angeles, CA, USA -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
