Lets hear nominees for the VHF rcvr hall of fame. Two votes I'd make are early
Motorola Modar, their 12 ch xtal controlled and the first full channel synth
(can't remmeber model no. something like 55/75) . These were hot rcvrs and had
GREAT intermod rejection, would work just fine in urban harbor environments
where pager xmtrs would clobber all other marine VHFs. One other vote is an
unsual combo, the Kenwood R 5000 rcvr with the factory VHF converter. Red hot
sensitivity and low noise. Could actually hear comms that were unintelligable
on other sets using the same antenna.
