I bought a hq 180 a year ago on ebay that did not work. It only needed a
fuse and fuse holder cap. $150 and it is a very good ssb receiver. I
highly recommend that radio. WB5OXQ

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???
