Best Modern Radios?

Dear Rick,

My favorite "one-year warranty" is the one that you get on a window
air conditioner. In general, you will use this for three months - at
the most - during the first year you own it, so in effect, that "one-
year" warranty is really onyl for one season of just a few months.

Best,

Joe

P.S. In three years of very heavy use, my AOR AR7030 Plus has not even
"hiccuped." I can even say the same for all of my Sony ICF-SW7600GRs,
the oldest of which is six years old. Currently, all parts for these
receivers are easily available and, I believe, will remain so for
years to come. Given reasonable care, these radios seem almost
"unbreakable!"



3 months? You DON'T live in Florida. I've had to run mine most of
the days in January and February for the last few years.

Best Modern Radios?
 
About two something years ago,I bought a new Whirlpool 18,000 btu window
unit airconditioner from the Cowboy Maloney's Electric City
www.cowboymaloney.com store (there are at least four Cowboy Maloney's
Electric City stores in the Jackson metro area.Last January,I bought my
new Sony Trinitron Wega 27 inch flat screen tv set at the Cowboy
Maloney's Electric City store on Harding Street) on Ellis Ave,about two
miles South of doggy's couch.Because my old thirty five year old
Dearborn (made in Dallas,Texas) window unit airconditioner finally
kicked the bucket.Interestingly,there is/was a guy who used to work at
Dearborn,something about the J.F.Kennedy thingy in 1963.I was at ammo
school at Fort Knox,Kentucky when all of that mess happened.

Is the modern DSP filtration getting good enough

I have the 320 model and computer noise has never been a problem. In my
humble opinion, it's the best radio available in the under 800-1000
dollar range. The frequency database lets you save all the settings in
use at the time of reception of a particular station, making re-tuning
easier.

What control software do you use? Ten Tec's or something else? I've
become a fan of RxPlus, though I can't say I've compared it with every
one of its competitors.
