Having only experience with a few sets, I hesitate on doing so. I'd rather that the reports in the columns give a better idea of what the DXers are logging with various rigs. The channel-scanning variety of set is best suited for those who want to keep tabs on only 8 or so freq. Having a complete stock of crystals for the unit runs into a fortune. A better set-up would either have one-tuneable set and a "scanner" or one of the few rcvrs that has both options on it. 73,
