$450.




Sadly, it followed me home, so I will now have to introduce it to my
antenna system.

heheheheheh.

Looks like it may be time for me to thin the herd.

DPM,

OK so you made the 'old' Owner a Loan; and some else
{the 'new' Owner after you} will repay that Loan with
Interest; when you sell it to them.

in the meantime - enjoy your new radio ~ RHF

Shhh...I left my mask at the door.

Seems to work well. Sounds good. Calibration is dead on.

Takes some getting used to. Operation is a lot more direct than many
of my receivers.

This one, I'll want to take to the woods.



So, I guess I'll be putting my SW-2 up for sale.


The first $250 will take it.

LOL!

As scary as it is to admit, you were the first thing that crossed my
mind as I laid eyes on it.

If I have any questions, I will, indeed, make some noise.

How is it that a SW receiver ended up at a model train show? Maybe I
need to start going to those shows?
