A new Lizard Lick Towing I haven't seen before. They repoed an MG Sprite car at a car show. Naturally it over heated and left them stranded by the side of the road. www.trutv2go.com Currently, 82 degrease in my flower box. Took them 15 hours to get all the electricity back on in India.

I had a HF-1000 for a short time - poor construction quality - pretty good receiver. If you are monitoring for one of the intelligence agencies, I guess they are OK, but for ham/SWL use, I thought they were sorta OK but nothing to write home about, especially considering the outrageous price they command. Your mileage may vary. For a third of the price I would much rather have a top-drawer ham transceiver with a general coverage receiver. I have not found anything that can beat a Perseus SDR - not as convienent as a stand alone receiver but if you cut off the AGC and enable the sychronous detector it can make the weakest AM signals readable. Unfortunately, it puts my ham transceiver to shame. Jim |

Yes, I caught it and as you may recall I posted a link here to a WJ (BAE) receiver a short time ago. |
