Not to say you aren't telling the truth Mike McM, but it always cracks
me up when someone posts (to of all places) here in RRS when "they are
looking for a receiver".....and eight out of ten times it is always in
the range of something like you stated or more.....lol.

Raises a valid point however... There is no useful FAQ for this N.G.; such
a document, updated regularly, with comprehensive reviews of specs and
performance data for boatanchor and modern receivers would permit readers
to make informed purchasing decisions. *The O.P. also asked for recommendations
on the integrity of sellers; this is a valid question, and answers other
than 'Universal Radio' would likely be welcomed by many readers. Certainly
there are printed resources, commercial websites and archived N.G. threads
that with effort would yield some data, but an effort to create a useful FAQ
should be undertaken IMHO as a centralized resource for promoting the radio
art and best practices.

Regards,

Michael


Hi,
Forget the request on my post I got a good receiver from Universal
Radio.
Thank you,
Mike McM.
