Can anyone compare these receivers with older ones like the Helicrafters 
SX-100 or the Kenwood R-600?  I've had both of those and would like to find 
something that works as well.  I'd buy an old one at the right price. 
Wonder if the old Hamerlund, National, or RME receivers tune narrow for CW 
or SSB?  Or the newer ones, for that matter.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.
