3749's any good?

did the 4 wheeler answer?

I'm gonna hide behind a wall and throw this out there... GNF. lots of people would love to destroy GNF, and it only seems to work with very strong signals. to keep post related, does anybody have insight on the variable nrc for the q6p? i would imagine it works far better than the all or...

your antenna installation can be chalked up as successful. yes sir. it was nice to have an actual conversation instead of a hit and run number exchange. i am thankful conditions held out long enough for it. the k-po dx5000 / astatic 636 have been trusty since unboxing them. seven3

used an old bread pan, switches, and chokes to sort out my primary power supply entanglement. 12A supply running a 5A radio, a handful of mini fans, and some chicken lights for the bench. splice blocks mounted to the back to tie everything together

very limited space in apartment, it all had to fit in this corner and clear 2 baseboard heaters. vertical space was the only way to manage it all (if you want to call that managed)

i like the meters and receive sound of the 2980. not a high value antique, but always wanted one. the 2 k-po dx5000 and the crt 6900v are a joy to operate. made many USB contacts on all of them, bone stock with no amp. 90 minutes is without a crystal oven, @ 63° lol. now, if i could just find...

made out of reclaimed Austrian pine and some other stuff. not mine, but built with and for a friend who was using plywood on sawhorses for years.

jumped. $258 out the door. cheaper than trying to make a good ssb rig out of the old 2980. variable nrc that i wish my k-po dx5000 had.

$258 out the door with a bundle package from their website now

rci 2980 with a 90 minute frequency warm up time. the inside is mint, but anything could go at any time. instead of an alignment, crystal oven, external 6 digit frequency display, and complete recap, i got a qt80. 2980 still holds it's ground on AM, USB and lsb, for what it is.

i live in an environment with s5 to s7 noise floor, outside my hands. hoping the variable nrc on a qt80 is better than the all or nothing nrc on the old quad5

how was your experience ordering direct? i see they have the qt80 in a bundle sale for $239

still like it? $239 direct from radioddity now
