Hi Alberto.
It has already been pointed out that these Receivers are 15-20 years old and
in my opinion a RX that old is not worth more than around Ł200 ie Euro 300
approx, in fact Ł100 would be more than enough.
The specification for the RX is good but AGE is against it !!! There are
more high tech and advanced creatures about these days, with Digital
filtering etc better suited for your job.
73 de Mal and definitely not in the Choir or a Gang nor being lead by the
nose!!
