Anyone know about this rcvr. I think they began production in 1986, but some
years later ceased. I think they are highly regarded. I found a few comments
about them on Google, but can't recall where. What I do recall is that it
had a power consuption problem (heat), and that it's coverage at 8 something
in some units was suspect in certain models. Any comments on the rcvr would
be appreciated.

I've had one for a decade or more without any trouble although
it has been only lightly used. Currently it is employed as a
tunable front-end on my HP141T analyzer. I have both the user and
service manuals so if I can be of help, please let me know.


Cheers - Joe

One question I have is do they still service these rcvrs? I sent them a
message late Friday, but probably won't heard until Monday.

So much for this one. The estate sold it a month ago, but didn't know it.

An excellent receiver. I too have had one for abt 10 years. The
American FCC used to use them for monitoring as well. I can also say
there is a heat problem. I mounted a small PC type cooling fan at the
back to keep it cool.

Otherwise, I wrote a program to control it thru the CIV port with
frequency logging into database etc and also record sound onto the
hard drive.

If you can get your hands on one, you will never part with it.
