Frank bought this on ebay with a buy it now a month ago for $350 this si the famous "centerpoint" of several years ago, he went big time in business on ebay and the net This sold for $350 with the keypad also? Why so cheap???? Lucky The previous seller apparently didn't bother to check what they normally close for, and put it up with a low "Buy it now". On the difference between the Europa and the regular HF-150, I'd take the Europa. The input filtering is likely to be more useful than any loss in sensitivity. He says: "Incorporating these RF bandpass filters should theoretically reduce spurious responses and noise. I compared the '150E to my early model '150. When the original '150 was connected to my 90/60 meter parallel dipole, there were several frequencies below 3 MHz which had images of local broadcasters. With the '150E , there were no audible images present, but there was increased noise on the same frequencies". and "I found that the original HF-150 was about 0.5 microvolts more sensitive across the HF spectrum, however, the HF-150E was within specification of less than two microvolts throughout the HF spectrum, and was typically in the range of one microvolt. I think that the higher sensitivity of the original may not be a virtue, given the radio's susceptibility for overloading. I don't think that this difference is significant, and switching in the pre-amp on the HF-150E improved the sensitivity to the level of the '150 without pre-amp" So basically he had to switch on the pre amp to bring it up to the 150's sensitivity. If you don't live in areas with strong stations, I'd rather have the sensitivity. Plus, I didn't know the backlight option can't be turned off in the E. So, it will drain your batteries if you ever use it as a portable. Lucky |
