I got Bill's trawler radio last night.

All in all, a great little radio. It's well worth what Bill asked for it,
and handily beats almost all of the regular bunch for AMBCB reception. With
a good speaker plugged into it (there is no internal speaker), it's even
quite good for program listening.



Glad you're happy with it. Its no lie that a 40 year old Danish trawler
radio can whoop-ass over the latest whizz-bang $500+ jap gizmo when it
comes to actual reception capability.

You are correct on that, I have been using a SP-600 for many, many years on bcb
dx and find it to be better than most of the sand state stuff out there.

Gulfport, Ms.

Les:
To be fair, it must be remembered that much of what you call the 'sand state
stuff' is intentionally deafened on MW or below. I have several boatanchors
as well and I love 'em, but above 2 MHz my solid state stuff pretty much
leaves them in the dust, especially for selectivity. The shape factor of
those old xtal filters was not very impressive.

Having said that, I still love to fire up the Halli, Hammer or Collins and
cruise the bands.
