 BB>  Does the DX 160 sound right? 
  
I still have one of those that I use from time to time.  It has a great AM 
band section, but the newer digital SW receivers are a lot easier to tune and 
are a lot more stable too!
  
Which reminds me, at one time Lafayette sold a tunable VHF high band receiver 
- it tuned with a dial!  Talk about having a hard time finding stations!  All 
it was really good for was the weather channels because you could tell when 
you were drifting off and swing it back on channel.  If you drifted off a 
channel that only had sporadic traffic you were out of luck.
  
I added a crystal filter to the IF of mine.  Otherwise the IF was nearly as 
wide as a broadcast FM band radio.  You could hear as many as 5 or more 
channels at once!
