An amateur radio operator and shortwave listener from Austria has developed
some very interesting modifications for the well known Lowe HF-150. He now
calls his radio the HF-195. Among the additional features are:

-frequency display now in steps of 100 Hz instead of 1 kHz
-new and better LC display, now including a S-Meter
-1000 memories (for each memory you can also store up to 16 letters for a
station name as well as a good listening time (like gray line))
-built in clock
-V.24 interface for good and quick communications with a PC based database
(f.e. telling the radio all the active Bolivian frequencies and then just
jump from one memory to another)

The modification of the radio itself is quite simple. But you have to
purchase a new processor and display and do some soldering. You don´t have
to be a specialist for it though. If you are interested in this very
fascinating project you can contact the mind behind it directly (please
include returnpostage in form of an IRC or a green stamp):

There are no commercial interests involved. It´s just ham spirit. Tell him I
have sent you.
