My recommendation
ICOM R-1500 just under $600. Surprisingly good at HF and coverage up to
above 3 GHz if you want (but not trunked radio or P25). Can also be
computer controlled with surprising good software. (Its bigger more
expensive brother, the R-2500, can do more things).

But if you want something battery powered, that is something different.

Can you say more about what kind of receiver you're looking for? Do
you want a portable? A tabletop? A "black box" receiver that you can
use with a computer?

You really don't say what type of receiver you want nor for what purpose.

However, as you are a ham, why not get a Drake TR-7 transceiver? Very
good SWL receiver (1.5-30 MHz continuous and 0-1.5 MHz with AUX-7 board)
and you can use it for transmitting too. They seem to be in the
$450-$650 range.

Well, I once lived in an apartment complex (second floor of three,
couldn't even sneak a good aerial let alone a good ground), but I did
use a Kenwood R-5000 with about 20 feet of wire tossed out under the
window screen. I'm still amazed at some of the stations I heard and
on the low bands that I heard them on under those conditions.
$400-500 on eBay.

If you're looking for a new receiver and you don't mind being bound to
a computer, the Ten Tec RX-320D is far and away the best value out
there. Dollar for dollar, pound for pound, I don't think you can beat
it. You should also splurge for some additional software to use with
it. I use RxPlus and it's great. The software Ten Tec supplies is
okay, but it pales in comparison with what's available elsewhere.

If you're looking for a new stand alone receiver in the specified
price range, then I'd encourage you to look at the Palstar R30CC. It
doesn't generate as much controversy as some receivers, but that's
largely because there's less to argue about. It's solid.

If you're open to buying a used receiver, I'd suggest picking up a
Drake R8 or R8A on ebay. An R8B would also be good though I doubt
you'd get one within the price range you specified. I think an R8 on
ebay is just about the best value currently to be had on the used
market.

Just my opinions and I'm sure they'll be contradicted by others, but
you asked! These are the best suggestions I have.

The R75 Trolling idiots would always come back with the bang for the
buck reply as a fall back position. Well now that's gone as the E1 is
cheaper $400 as opposed to $600. For $200 less you get a sync, AGC that
works and decent sound.

So for the performance "bang for the buck" forsake the POS R75 and get
an E1. An E1 is a radio that works not one that makes promises.

And I agree with you that a Palstar R30CC at +$60 bucks would be a much
better buy than an R75.

One thing I've noticed about the RX-320D that I don't like, though, is
that when I use it in conjunction with a phasing unit I cannot get the
same kinds of nulls that I get on my standalone receivers. I'm not
sure why this is. Moving the RX-320D around to different locations
doesn't help (or hurt) matters. I wonder if the computer connection is
itself to blame. It seems optimistic to me to think you can have a
wired connection between a receiver and a computer without some
increase in noise and loss in performance. If this is right, then the
resulting noise might shake up the AGC control on the RX-320D just
enough to obliterate many of the useful nulls.

Maybe this isn't the cause, but so far I've ruled out every other
theory I could come up with. I'd be curious to hear from anyone else
who's encountered this problem....or from anyone else who uses a PC-
controlled receiver who doesn't encounter it, for that matter. It
might be wise to check to be absolutely sure you AREN'T encountering
it, though.

If you're looking for a new receiver and you don't mind being bound to
a computer, the Ten Tec RX-320D is far and away the best value out
there. Dollar for dollar, pound for pound, I don't think you can beat
it. You should also splurge for some additional software to use with
it. I use RxPlus and it's great. The software Ten Tec supplies is
okay, but it pales in comparison with what's available elsewhere.

If you're looking for a new stand alone receiver in the specified
price range, then I'd encourage you to look at the Palstar R30CC. It
doesn't generate as much controversy as some receivers, but that's
largely because there's less to argue about. It's solid.

If you're open to buying a used receiver, I'd suggest picking up a
Drake R8 or R8A on ebay. An R8B would also be good though I doubt
you'd get one within the price range you specified. I think an R8 on
ebay is just about the best value currently to be had on the used
market.

Just my opinions and I'm sure they'll be contradicted by others, but
you asked! These are the best suggestions I have.

Is there a Linux control app? I can't see using a 200 Watt computer
to listen to the friggin' radio, but there are some sub-laptops coming
out that might make better sense.- Hide quoted text -

The answer is yes. Here's a link to an article on the subject along
with some additional links to other sources:

One thing I've noticed about the RX-320D that I don't like, though, is
that when I use it in conjunction with a phasing unit I cannot get the
same kinds of nulls that I get on my standalone receivers. I'm not
sure why this is. Moving the RX-320D around to different locations
doesn't help (or hurt) matters. I wonder if the computer connection is
itself to blame. It seems optimistic to me to think you can have a
wired connection between a receiver and a computer without some
increase in noise and loss in performance. If this is right, then the
resulting noise might shake up the AGC control on the RX-320D just
enough to obliterate many of the useful nulls.

Maybe this isn't the cause, but so far I've ruled out every other
theory I could come up with. I'd be curious to hear from anyone else
who's encountered this problem....or from anyone else who uses a PC-
controlled receiver who doesn't encounter it, for that matter. It
might be wise to check to be absolutely sure you AREN'T encountering
it, though.

That's not true. I smoke a tiny sliver in the morning in a one-hit
hash pipe. Then a tiny sliver at lunch, then a tiny sliver after
work. I make an eigth (3.5) gm last a couple weeks. I am doing this
completely legally by authority of doctor's recommendation and the
complete blessing of the state of California. If you don't like it,
move to friggin' Ohio.

You must be. I've had excellent results with the R75 and quite modest
antennas on a small lot in one of the most RFI- and QRM-polluted
environments I can imagine short of the inside of an electronics
factory. The radio is sensitive, selective, not prone to images, and
delivers under less-than-optimum circumstances.

My experience with it is just great, and I have no hesitation in
recommending it as a good $1k choice.

Well, Bruce I'm not. Like I previously posted the fall back position for
the R75 argument has been the performance you get for the price. You
could get a better radio before but it always cost more money. The R75
tradeoff being poor AGC and sync that doesn't work unless you pay even
more money, ship it to someone that will modify it. Well, now you can
get more performance for less.

The R75 is quite nice. The E1 is very good for a portable. In fact
outstanding in comparison with other portables. To have both is a very good
setup imo. To have either is a bargain!

You get better performance for lower cost with the E1. You don't have to
send it off to get it modified either.
