These are GREAT receivers ! Congratulations. I own an HQ-140X and an HQ-145. When I was a kid back in the 1960s I would get the Allied catalog every year, and the first thing I would do is turn to the section with the Hammarlund receivers. How I would drool, wishing I could afford to buy one. They were the top of the line receivers back in the day, and more expensive than I could afford. many years later i was able to buy 2 of them. They are the best general coverage shortwave listening receivers I have.
