Re: SR 150
I think The SR 150 tops the list of receivers. Note, a lot of people replace the FL1 and the carrier oscillator crystals in their 400's and 2000's with those from the SR-150. Walt Cates, WD0GOF

Re: SX100 DC power plug question
Keith, Cut a scrap of #12 wire and shove it in there for the short term.? Then, later, when you run across a relay or vacuum tube with octal plug, disassemble it and make the substitution. Cheers
