But, I do recall buying a minty 515, with the memory unit, and I think a matching speaker for around $850 or so back in the early 90's or so, via the Ham Trader Yellow Sheets. I almost recall it coming with something else, perhaps some add on box that added sync or something, it might have been some kinda Kiwa box. The add on box was black, and had a few knobs on it. Maybe it was a Sherwood thing. At any rate, I considered it a steal at the time, but, I never cared for NRD audio, though they were certainly pretty. Sold it all at a nice profit. dxAce Michigan USA |

loses sync, which it does often. That's what I just read. Apparently even moving the bandpass unlocks it.) Sure don't need or want that howling. "Geoffrey S.

Sounds like the only way to go. Thanks
I also have an NRD-525 stock and it's about to get the Kiwa audio upgrade as well as the rejection filter mod. I've got an Icom R-71A loaded with the Kiwa mods too. But like they say, the antenna is everything. So much noise of different types around the MFJ-1026 can't keep up. Sure is a good hobby though ..... always tweaking something.

I've had a couple of the same ones you've had. The HF-150 came and went very fast, as no matter what I did, I couldn't keep the nearby AMBC station from hashing it up. I had two filters that knocked down everything below 2MHZ down about 40DB in series and it still was audible in the background. A friend who lives out in the middle of nowhere bought it and it's still going strong. I had an RF-B45 for a few months. It was ok, but the drift drove me nuts, and the filters were less than great. I never had one of the huge tube radios though. When I had money to buy one, I couldn't find one I liked, and when I found one I liked, I had no cash for toys. I almost bought an HQ180a a local guy had for sale a while back, but I had no place to put it where it could be used. -- BDK- Top of the government shill heap for over 10 years running! |

TM-271 2m FM in the family truckster Sorry . Must be a bunker . ! 'bunkers' ! : I Know Bunkers ;;-}} One of the Houses in Oakland : My Good Old Dad built a Small Bomb 'Shelter' -circa-1950s Just a Small 5'x8' Room with 4-Chairs and 2-Cots Sleeping Bags; Food & Water + Supplies [Radio]. Had a Wooden outside Door with 6~7 Steps Down to a Metal Door leading into the 6" Concrete Lined Room in the a Half-Basement. One thing I Remember was it had an Axe and Pick inside so we could Chop & Pick Our-Way-Out. Both Doors Locked and Dad had a Metal Cabinet inside to Store His Hunting Rifles and Ammo. Mostly it got used to store Mom's Jars of 'Canned' Food. Dad had me 'stay' down there for a Day a couple of times; just to get the 'feel' of Surviving. Actually was a 'nice' place to go to escape the few Summer Days in the SF East Bay. One Ceiling Light & One Outlet & AM Radio -note- Just a Bucket : No Toilet Many Years later ~1970s one of the Younger Rental Tenants 'Asked' Me About "The Room" {Think She Thought It Was A Dungeon} my old man was a hard working thinker and a doer ~ RHF |
