Hi,

Just curious re your opinions.

What would be the next step up for a table top receiver over the
JRC NRD 545 ?

Should include the vhf/uhf mil air, PD, etc. bands as well as HF.

What would it offer better than the 545: sensitivity, or...?
When was it first on the market ?

Assume a $3,500 limit. Should be new, not used.

Not interested in a SDR receiver; tried one but returned it due to all
the software glitches.

Thanks,
Bob
