Hi dxAce: I have the Icom R75, it covers a lot of bands. The
Hammarlund 170 does not have many of the bands I like to listen to, such
as 41m & 49m. And it does not have the part in the rear for the PL259.

I will look around for a Hammarlund 180. If it carries 10m-160m. Also
I notice that the Hammarlund 180 has an openning hatch on the top. This
is cool.

I wonder if these radio were used in the military?

Good question. Hammarlund made many different models over the years. Which one is the
best? That's something I guess is left up to the individual user.

The model you have, the HQ-170 is an amateur band receiver, and it's counterpart, the
HQ-180 is a general coverage shortwave receiver.
