They are a fun to use radio if you enjoy bandspread tuning. There are
more similarities than differences between the 150, 150A, 150B and
160. However, in reference to the auction comments I would say the
150b had a slight edge because of the relatively improved selectivity
from a mechanical filter and the 160 because of extended coverage.

If I had a choice, I'd pick the any of the 150-series units over the
160. The sound quality of the 160s are just awful-The filter is just too
aggressive, with no way to switch it out for casual listening.

There are two caps on the 160 you can replace that will widen up the
audio nicely, without widening the IF bandwidth.

Makes all the difference.
