Or even an old HQ-129-X, HQ-140, HQ-110, HQ-170, or similar tube-type receceiver. Many of these are available at flea markets for under $100, and they ar FAR better (if working correctly) than anything new you could get for $100. Also, they will probably retain their $100 resale value indefinitely, should you decide to unload them. -John S., W3IKG
