The 300 IS a great receiver but it is ham bands only so if you want to do
any swl listening it may not be what you want. I had one and for ham bands
it is real good and works well on ssb also. I did not like it as well on am
as the sx 110 I am restoring now and the Hallicrafters is general coverage
with bandspread for 80,40 20, 15, and 10 meter ham bands but not as good on
ssb as the national.. there are lots of good tube sets out there you need
to decide if you want to use it only on ham or do you want to listen to
international broadcasts also? My favorite receiver for swl and ham has
been a Hammurland HQ180 but they are not cheap when you can find one.

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. I should probably save/wait for
NEAR-fest but I'd really like to get on the air.
I'll have $350 to $400 to spend:
* Primary use - HAM band AM reception primarily on 75 and 40 initially
- 160 down the road
* Needs to work, something that needs a little TLC is fine but would
like it to work as soon as I bring it home.
* Something located north of New York City so I can come pick it up.
I don't like driving south of NYC.
* Nice audio, doesn't have to be the greatest quality but just
enjoyable listening and something I can feed into a nice speaker
system.
* Something that would fit inside a 19" rack cabinet would be a big
plus but not a requirement. Desk space is getting sparse but I have
about 3' of unused space inside my rack where a RX could fit nicely.
Any ideas? Thanks guys.
