Hi Terry,

Yes indeed. I remember reviews and adverts in the UK radio magazines when it was available new. Price was about GBP400, compared to the bigger brother HF-225 which was about GBP500. As to prices in the US at the time, I don't know. What made sense to a lot of UK folk was that these radios were quite a bit cheaper than the imported Yaesu/Icom/Kenwood fare of the time, yet offered performance on a par or better.

The only thing they lacked was the fancy front panels - One quickly gets past cosmetics after spending some time listening.

I feel lucky to be able to collect this one.

Ed

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
