Re: [IRCA] Daves' HQ 180

["Bob Young" <youngbob53@xxxxxxx>]

I wonder if they have outboard noise blankers these days like in the modern 
receivers? My new location is extremely noisy but it is flourescent buzzzz 
from my own building, I have to phase it out especially below 580 khz for 
some reason which of course ruins any attempts at phasing out strong locals 
down there. I agree the noise suppression in these old receivers leaves 
something to be desired, I very rarely even use it, the noise suppression on 
the 180's is better than the suppression on SP-600's though. My buzz 
situation improved greatly when I made a good outdoor ground.
