I also used to have the SX-100 as my station receiver
and I loved it. I am curious about one thing, however. The first
IF is 1.65 MHZ. This used to not be a problem because that was
at one time in the middle of the band that was used for police
calls back aas late as the 1950's. Then, those frequencies were
refarmed to navigational beacons. There wasn't much of anything
there until the late nineties when the AM broadcast band was
expanded to 1700 KHZ which puts the first IF right smack in the
middle of AM broadcasts. Do you get much trouble from that?

	I used to hear little heterodynes around the high end of
the AM broadcast band due to the nav beacons so I can imagine
what a local AM brodcast station at 1650 would do.
