Re: [IRCA] IBOC Hash AM vs FM OT question

[Russ Edmunds <wb2bjh@xxxxxxxxx>]

They're good, but not at that price, even modified as noted.  I bought one
early on, and returned it within a week on account of the heat - I couldn't
have operated it on anything short of masonry safely. But I also found that
here, within 7-10 miles of my IOBOC locals, I did indeed continue to hear
the hash, and could not get receptions on those first adjacents any better
with the XDR than I could with my analog tuners. At this location, a Tecsun
PL-310 does as well as the XDR did.
