OK gang, wanting to know: your favorite "Desktop Receiver". should

be a receiver you own and use most, (not one you wish you had).


I've been using the Ten Tec 320 for about eighty percent of the time in
the last while. There is a Yaesu VR-5000 next to it, but it's really
cumbersome to use with all the buried menu options.

I've been getting more satisfaction out of the Ten Tec.

Next month I'll probably dust off the FRG-7 and think about putting in a
cable for digital readout.

I have been going retro now for awhile. My main receiver is a restored
Lafayette HE-10, another one that gets duty is a restored
Halllicrafters S-38, the portables a Panasonic RF-2200, Realistic
DX-440 and a GE Super Radio III. My main attention nowadays is MW
DXing.
