A little bit, but still touch-n-go for the moment. Sold off my R-75,
HF-150, FRG-7 and DSP-599zx, leaving the two 8500s, the RX-340, the
R-392 and the WinRadio G303i. I'm still plodding along, although the
rest of the year will be wicked, next year should improve.




Of the ones you've lost, you'll miss HF-150 the most. The ones
you kept will leave few wants.



Actually I didn't use the HF-150 all that much -- I found it to be a
pain to tune and that it was too drifty to hold lock with sync AM
until the thing had been on for an hour or so.



Really. Exactly opposite my experience.


I do run it off a huge regulated power supply at 14V rather than
12V. That may have something to do with it. My 7030+ is similarly
stable at the top of it's operating voltage.



My "goto" radio is usually the '8500. But the '340 can't be beat for
getting the signal out from under the noise. I had an amusing moment
when listening to 11.175 and some aircraft and Offutt were being
jammed and couldn't hear each other, yet I'd cancelled, notched, and
bandpassed everything out and heard them both as armchair copy.



Outstanding. Have you had a chance to play with RX-350? Not
quite as tasty as RX-340. Then again, not quite price tag, either.
