From the time I graduated college (Aug. 1987), until Jan. 1993 (when I got my Advanced license), I had an R4B (along with a T4XC). It was a great receiver. At the time I didn't realize that (I wanted something smaller, and more modern). Ever since the late 90s, I have regretted getting rid of my R-4B. It wasn't until I recently put an ICOM IC-740 my neighbor gave me (It was a non-runner, but the fix was relatively minor - just a burned out resistor on the regulator board) on the air, that I had a receiver that was as quiet as my old R4B. If I had the cash to spare, I'd get my hands on an R-4 or R-4B. 73, Ellen - AF9J > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "JT Croteau" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Discussion of AM Radio in the Amateur Service" > <[email protected]> > Sent: Saturday, February 16, 2008 10:16 AM > Subject: [AMRadio] Wanted: Receiver - New England > > > > I'm going to be looking for a receiver at the beginning of the month > > (hate getting paid once/month) and wondering if anyone has anything > > they'd be selling or have any leads on. > > > > I don't have a big list of requirements and can't afford a "museum > > quality" R-390A or Super Pro but want to get on the air now that I > > have a decent plate modulated TX and not sure if my simple regen I am > > building will be up to snuff.
