An HQ-170 is a great rcvr for SSB, AM and CW. It is ham band only. I think the 180 is general coverage. You should be able to find a 170 within your price range.

Hi Everyone, I am new to boatanchors and need some advice. I am beginning to collect antique radios. I want suggestions on what my first one should be. I am living in a duplex so a xmitter is out of the questions, so I thought I'd get a "nice" receiver to listen on. I would prefer something that would also receive SSB as this will be my only reciever for a while, but not at the sacrifice of selectivity on AM. I had a TS-850 that I unfortunately had to sell a few months back for a move for a new job. It had great receive (and Xmit) on AM, and so I'm wanting something in that caliber. I've read great things about the HQ-180A but I think it's only AM and a little out of the price I'm looking for. I'd like to find soemthing in the $300-350 range. Any suggestions??? 73 Daniel N9WX ______________________________________________________________ AMRadio mailing list List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Partner Website: http://www.amfone.net Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected]
