R7 Headed UP
This R7 is headed for a record price for an Ebay
sale. Amazing commentary on value of these fantastic receivers. From my scanning of R7 Ebay items over the past year, value for these on average is now up well past $1300 or more for specimens in excellent condition, with R7As fetching even higher: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=5813581639 |

Hmmm. If I won this receiver, I could just drive up to CT and pick it
up, and by the end of the day it would be sitting right here in my living room. A nice daydream, but it's more than I can afford at the moment. Beautiful receiver, though I'm disturbed by the seller's ignorance regarding the filters, NB, etc. That would definitely stop me from paying top dollar. There's really only been one time when I threw caution to the wind on Ebay, and that was when I was bidding on a 7030+ that was put up for auction by a well-known SWLer who often works at Universal Radio. He was able to answer all my questions and I knew I could trust him. It's rare that one can bid with this sort of confidence. Steve |

I own at least over two hundred radios.(probally more like over three
hundred radios,,, I never counted noses before) You probally don't own so much as one single one of the radios like I own.And,I am not going to go to the trouble of digging them out (you can't see the tree for the forest) of my foot lockers,my closets,my wash room,my den,my old shed in my back yard,scattered all over in every room (even my bathroom and kitchen too) of my house for you to compare.I have gotten wayyyyy too fat and lazy to even think about it.I sent some money to somebody early this afternoon,today for a radio. cuhulin |

Although it was a nice RX and had better PBT than today's RX, I really do not miss it. Now, the Davco DR-30, will be buried with me: http://www.miami.muohio.edu/presiden...vers/davco.htm Dale W4OP |

I've had the Hallis and couple 390As and have an NC-125 in the garage. The bands are so sucky so often it's hard to stay focused. |

The description says:
HIGH STABILITY LINEAR PERMEABILITY TUNED VFO AND FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER Synthesizer? I owned 2 of them but it's been a few years ago .. don't remember 'em beign synthesized. PTO as I recall. The RV-75 was a synthesized VFO but I don't see that in the picture. |

If you ever decide to get "funky" in any sense, please let me know in
advance so that I can arrange to be far, far away. |

Try 75M AM at night -3880-3885KHz even into the wee hours. The ops there are using the heavy metal AM broadcast rigs many times- they sound superb, and the discussions are technical in nature. Dale W4OP |

The radio is pretty sensitive and very stable after only a few minutes, unlike the Hammarlunds which drift for hours. It's also quite accurate for the day. You can dial a station right to the KHz and it'll be there. You can also, as Peter Maus warned me a long time ago, develop a strong right arm cranking that band change knob. -- Brian Denley http://home.comcast.net/~b.denley/index.html |

Love the PTO vs Variable Capacitor. |
