Default Acme of general coverage portable HF communications receivers?

Very true. I always at least check under 'reciever'. It's amazing how many
mispell even that word.

A used Rohde & Schwarz Miniport just sold for $9,400 on ebay, complete

If I had 10 grand to spare it would be mine now!

Do you still have the URL? Ebay completed items search is only good for
15 days of history and I find nothing in it (or current listings
either).


Takes but a moment to find it in completed listings:

Ah, I misspelled 'Rohde' and 'Rhode' -- seems that a lot of expensive
gear is listed under the misspelling


Sometimes that can be a good way to get a better price as not as many may
be looking under the mis-spelled name.
