It's a long time since I've seen one go for less than $400.

If you have one (in decent condition) that you'd like to sell for
around four hundred, just post something about it here. I don't think
you'll have ANY trouble making a sale!!

Do you own one? They seem to be highly sought after.

Yes, I picked one up not long ago. I wanted something that satisfied
the following conditions:

1. Is compact enough to carry around on "mini-DXpeditions"
2. Will yield better performance than a high end portable
3. Is well-built
4. Is reasonably priced, but a good value for the money

I decided that an HF-150 would be a good way (though by no means the
only way) to satisfy all these conditions. I'm enjoying it. I'm happy
with the purchase and am enjoying the receiver.

I got an email yesterday from that married Irish woman over yonder
across the big pond.Mostly,it was about her thyroid gland test came back
benign and her 23 year old cat had jumped around and injured herself,,
sort of,but her cat is going to be ok and the woman's hubby has a
stomach gut problem.I haven't asked her about looking out for a Lowe
shortwave radio for me yet,but I am thinking about it.

I used one for a while that belonged to a friend. it has some very
serious issues in my book

a late production SW-8 is a much better receiver

What were the serious issues to you??

Lucky

when using the selectable sync youare forced to use the 2.5 filter.
that is unacceptable.

the front end performance is not acceptable.

the IF filter options are very limited, TWO !

has no features to speak of, like bass and treble
short battery life

I don't remember some of the other issues
