BDK. Your right, on the 7700 and the 8800. they were nothing special, unless your a collector. the frog-7 was was a good radio in it's time. i have a high number 7 and the sears badged receiver in my collection. the 7 is still a fun receiver. and if you read the yahoo group, a bunch of them are still in use. our friend GH still uses one as his number one receiver. these days most people want an easy to use receiver- got to have a keypad and almost tune itself. even some don't like the palstar which doesn't have a keypad, but is still an up to date receiver. i'm not lazy, and tuning a good receiver is still fun to me. Drifter... I like the old ones too. I have a modded to ridiculous levels Hammarlund HQ-100 that, except for stability in SSB mode (It has a product detector added to it) is the equal of anything under about $1000 new I have put against it. It sounds great running into a RS Minimus-7 speaker. It also makes a great space heater in this coldest room in the house. Got it for a whopping $58 on Ebay long ago. All I had to do to get it going was resolder a wire. A couple years ago, I had to put a couple of tubes in it, but that's it. I bought a Allied SX-190 SW receiver that I have been playing with, trying to find and fix the cause of a sensitivity issue on all bands except the 9MHZ one. That one is sensitive to the point of overload. I will get going on it again one of these days, it's got to be something simple, as the radio works fine, except for being deaf on most bands. In the newer easy to use rig dept, my JRC NRD-515, is my main reciever, with a modded NRD-525, and Kenwood TS850 are fun too. BDK, vary cool. had an SX-190 many moons ago, wish i still had it. the NRD-515 is one of my all time favorites. great rig, been trying for about 3 years to get my hands on the keypad and junction box for mine. sounds like you got yourself a great line up there. that Hammar should be a great winter project. Drifter... |
