As announced on Glenn Hauser's SWL program "World of Radio" on February 9, 1985, Kenwwod is discounting their hf receiver line. R600 sale price $280 R1000 sale proce $360 R2000 sale price $440 Prices through dealers might be less, I do not know. This sale might be due to the competition from Yaseau's new FRG 8800. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject : Review of Yaseau FRG 8800 A review of this receiver was done on the Radio Nederland DX program "Media Network" on January 31, 1985. Comments were: o Frequencies must be entered in two parts, first MHZ followed by a entering key function and KHZ followed by a entering key function o sensitivity on 150 khz-25 MHZ is ok, but 25-30 MHZ is poor o two filters 2.7 khz and 6 khz are standard o compatable to the Kenwood R2000 with RIT installed o no notch filters o RS-232 port o optional 118-174 MHZ converter and wide fm filter 73's Ed Soomre N1BFF Digital Equipment Corp 1 Iron Way Marlboro, MA 01752
