am
always lending receivers to friends !)

Great site Captain- I had just recently found it also.

I have owned the 250 and several 150's (here's a pix of my keeper 150 to
which I added backlighting: http://www.parelectronics.com/pics/hf150bl.jpg)
and have found them to be the best built receivers out there. My 150 goes on
every trip with me. If there's better sync detection out there I have not
found it.
Filter choices are excellent and very fine synthesizer- the 150 better than
the 250 in that regard. Thorpe was truely a genius. His AOR7000 also a fine
and well built receiver- but missing the mark as for simplicity. I truely
hope AOR does release a new Thorpe design- I'll be standing in line.
