HF-150 Accessories
What else is there besides what you just mentioned?
Pete wrote in message ups.com... If anyone has any HF-150 accessories they'd like to get rid of, please contact me via email. I'm not interested in the computer control interface or the keypad, but I am interested in all of the other accessories that were sold for the 150. Thanks, Steve |

If things have gotten into such a hassel of finding parts for Lowe
radios and or sending the radios off somewhere to be sent somewhere else for repair,what would be the advantage of owning Lowe radios as opposed to radios that are much easier to have them repaired? cuhulin |
A machined aluminum (I am not knocking Lowe radios,in fact,I wish I
owned one) radio case does not a radio make. cuhulin |

Sort of like owning an old Italian,Stangiulini (spelling) automobile.(I
dont own a Stangiulini) Where to get parts and service? I can very easily get parts and do my own work on my 1914 Ford T Model Automobile and my 1942 Willys World War Two Jeep and my 1948 Willys Civilian Jeep. www.jeepdoc.com cuhulin |
Oh, that's right.........how could I forget? I had the PR-150 preselector
for about a week. And then, there is that speaker..... Pete "dxAce" wrote in message ... Pete KE9OA wrote: What else is there besides what you just mentioned?

The speaker is more interesting to me than the preselector. As I
understand it, it's not only a speaker but also a signal meter and an audio notch. Steve |
The speaker is pretty good, although you have to cut a a ground trace in
order to bring the AGC connections out to the S-Meter. The preselector was just ok, in my opinion. In the passive mode, the loss was between 3 and 10dB, depending on the range. With the preamp engaged, the gain varied between -1dB to +6dB. They did a nice job on the board layout, but that cheap plastic tuning capacitor was a turn-off for me, especially for the price that it sold for. Looking inside of the PR-150, it appears that it was not designed by the same engineer as the receivers. Construction quality is nowhere near as good as the Lowe receivers. I traded mine off towards a Lowe HF-225. I did keep the HF-150 though. As far as the speaker, having a notch filter is a good idea but a 150 dollar selling price would have been more in order. Don't forget the "rack unit". Actually, it looks pretty good when you have it loaded with all of the accessories. Do you remember the advertisement that Popular Communications used to have for the HF-150? There was a photo of the receiver, with a Baby Ruth candy bar sitting on top of it to show just how small the 150 was. There was a caption that said "Baby Ruth candy bar not included", or something like that. The 150 is still my favorite out of the Lowe bunch. Once you install a backlight, the receiver really looks cool. Pete wrote in message oups.com... The speaker is more interesting to me than the preselector.
