I started thinking about this tonight. I was tuning around with a Lowe
HF-150, comparing it with some other receivers, and was struck by how
quiet the 150 is--and by what an advantage this is when it comes to
resolving weak AM signals.

So, just out of curiosity, what's the quietest receiver you've used
and/or owned?

The WinRadio G313i by far. Noise floor -138 dBm and the continuously
adjustable IF filter let's you adjust the IF bandwidth to precisely
match the bandwidth of the signal. No other receiver comes close.

Agree - 313i is the quietest by far.

The Collins should win this contest hands down. Nothing, to my knowledge,
ever had a lower noise floor. The story is that it was only limited by the
Galactic background noise level. You can't do any better than that.

They're pretty amazing receivers. Now if they only tuned like a SP-600

Id say the Lowe is quiet, but you forgot to power it up!
