Hi John.

Not much available in the desktop receiver market unless you can find a
used one.  If you hurry, you might find a closeout Icom IC-R75 which takes
the UT102 board, but it looks like most of the companies that made good
table top receivers are getting out of the business.  I think table top
receivers are going to be gold in a couple of years.
