If you appreciate electronic construction and layout,
my vote goes to any of the Hammarlund radios.
They were built "to last forever"....
Dials and controls .....s m o o t h....
If you pull the case, they're beautiful.
No construction shortcuts.


They are no doubt my favorites. My first Hammarlund was the 129X with the
additional Q-Multiplier. Then the 140X and lastly the 180. They are built like
tanks and I can hear anything on the 129X and the 180 that anyone else can hear
on their rice burners. ;-)
