Thomas Reviews the Lowe SRX 100 Radio

Hope you're well! I just posted this review of the 90's era Lowe SRX 100. Cute radio, in a built-in-the-uk utilitarian sort of way. Good audio, respectable AM performance:

Heading to the Dayton Hamvention tomorrow. Will soon be swimming in radios. Plan to post some photos.

Best,

Thomas

My "HF3-inside" receiver:

Got this for £20 (postage included) from Ebay a couple of years ago. It seems the previous owner (not the guy who sold this to me, he knows noting about it) built this around a HF3 PCB. He added woofer/tweeter speakers, tuned pre-amp (often overloads the receiver though), analogue meter and a lead-acid battery (dead when I got it).

I was lucky this thing worked well although it's sold as spare/repair. Lots of fun to play with, I have to say.
