If Mr. Spock wanted a SW radio ???
 

If Mr. Spock had to pick the most logical bang for the buck portable sw
radio in all performance categories to buy given he had $200.00 total to
spend. New or used. The best available for $200.00 or less. What would he
pick ???

I say: 7600gr

If Mr. Spock had to pick the most logical bang for the buck tablet top sw
radio in all performance categories to buy given he had $1000.00 total to
spend. New or used. Just the best available for $200.00 or less. What
would he pick ???

I say... Icom R-75

"Logical... Flawlessly logical"

If Kirk wanted a sw radio, he'd seduce the first woman he could find with a
WJ-8711a

He's too much in love with himself to bother. Oh..wait a minute...that's
Shatner I'm thinking of..

But is there a difference?

A used Drake R8A or R8B, and a Sony 2010 (all are used, these days)

Spock would build his own for $200, and it would be better than
anything currently on the market.

I agree. Spock is a badass. Remember the show where him and Kirk were on the
planet run by Mobsters and Spock made a radio from old tubes and components
so they could talk to the Enterprise?

MII,

Why are you so down on a 'fellow' "Canadian" William Shatner ?

AKA: 'Captain James "T" Kirk' to Star Trekkies.
Who was born March 22 2233 (300 Years later to the Day) in
Riverside, Iowa on the 'United Planet' Earth.
http://www.startrek.com/startrek/vie...r/1112496.html

NOTE: The "T" was for 'Tiberius'

Back-to-Reality: The Actor and Writer William Shatner was born
March 22, 1931 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

I disagree. he made a radio from NEW tubes and components.

I disagree. he made a radio from NEW tubes and components.

It is at least much easier to buil a transmitter/transceiver with tubes
than with semiconductor technology. The more if you want a high wattage
output. This is still todays technology.
