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. Geoff R-390 B.H. |

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. -- Brian Denley http://home.comcast.net/~b.denley/index.html |

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