Question - what is the advantage of using the ICE 180A (1.5-30 MHz)
over the 180C (0.1 - 30 MHz)? Is the 180A inherently better suited to
SW because it does not need to be so broadbanded? Or will the other
work as well, PLUS get you MW? Do these use binocular cores? Or just
one of them?

Both use binocular cores -- I have a 180 and a 182. The only visible
difference is that the DC blocking capaccitor. The binocular may be
different.

I wondered about the difference as well, and the only thing I could
think of is that the smaller value of the blocking capacitor on the
180A helps attenuate MW and LW, which certain radios' front ends can't
handle.
