Hello Mal,
a voice outside the choir ! It's always interesting to hear opinions
dissenting from those of the others, as they can convey new information.
So what you are suggesting to me is to negotiate the price down to about
one half of what has been requested... I am sure to be able to
obtain a price reduction, as, knowing who is the seller, his first word
rarely is his last. But 50% discount seems a bit too much...
I don't need a transceiver, I have already a Kenwood TS-950SDX which I
like a lot. What I am in search of, is a dedicated receiver
for my intended useage. Will keep im mind your opinion, thanks for it.

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 £200 ie Euro 300
approx, in fact £100 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!!
