Lowe HF225
Anyone used/own a Lowe HF225? I have a chance to buy one and want to
know what other users think of this receiver. At present I use a Sony SW77, Sangean ATS 909 and a Degen 1102. I amhoping the Lowe will be able to let me do some MW dx-ing. Many thanks, Alan |

I have one. I don't use it much lately - too many
radios and I haven't been listening much anyway. At my old house I had a better overall set-up than I do now, and used it quite a bit. It is an excellent SW radio. It sat beside an R8 and as far as I can recall, it was not nearly as good as the Drake on MW, but that's not much of an indictment; the R8 is a great MW radio. MW in my current house is a total mess and I don't spend much time at it. What options does this radio come with? The keyboard is extremely useful bordering on a necessity, the FM/synch board is nice but not as critical. I put together an internal battery pack rather than try to buy a Lowe pack and it also is a nice thing to have.

it is a great receiver, I think it is much better than the 150.
