The RX-320 is quite portable. Aside from being able to be controlled with a laptop which many people carry for other reasons, the RX-320 can also be controlled with a PDA. And it's great for ssb. RM~ |
FWIW: Between these two is the Icom IC-R75 and the Kenwood R-5000.
Check-Out the Icom IC-R75 (NEW @ $450-$550) GoTo= http://groups.yahoo.com/group/icomr75/ Check-Out the Kenwood R-5000 (USED @ $300-$450).

The Sony 7600GR is nice at $150 for SSB. The Drake R8B is nicer at $1400. |
I'd leave the 2010 off the list if sideband is a major consideration. 100
htz tuning is way to course. I would'nt want to listen to that long. "BOEING377" wrote in message ... For overall value its still hard to beat a Sony 2010. If portability isnt a big deal then the Ten Tec RX 320 DSP black box rcvr is a good value. Both are available used on eBay pretty often. Although many disagree, I like the ICOM R 10 handlheld. With a good antenna it gets decent HF SSB and has a voice squelch that quiets the rcvr between SSB transmissions (not to be confused with a a carrier squelch). It also rcvs VHF and UHF. I got mine used for $200. |
