I like that Rob has included the specs of vintage receivers. Among other things, I was pleased to see how well my Drake R-4C with Sherwood mods stacks up against the best receivers of today.
The fact that I no longer have access to the bench of test equipment that I did years ago, other than a DVM that I bought, has kept me from acquiring any more vintage gear. 73 de Jim - AD6CW On 10/23/2011 7:35 PM, Ron D'Eau Claire wrote: > Interesting stuff, but I really don't want to know the specs on my WWII > vintage HRO-5.
