best recieving 10 meter radio

[Mudfoot]

I had a few of those on my bench recent years. Repair/align etc.
Ability of reading schematics, understanding them helps a lot. In most cases there is no need to buy radio to know what to expect.
It's overpriced junk so-called 10m to avoid FCC, to be sold in USA.
I do not care if you agree or not, it is my opinion.

Damn! Mike...keyboard busy tonight.

I you want good, inexpensive 10m radio look at Xiegu G90. 20W SDR with great receiver, 100$ more than stryker. Bonus: full HF with antenna tuner.

I have one in my watch list. Been there for a few.

 

[Mudfoot]

Mike is right. That G90 SDR is a nice piece of work. The mod is out there so it will work 11m now as well.

I could use the info. I want to buy one. Can you link?

I kind of agree if you are talking about old Ten meter radios.​

The Radio Shack HTX 100 was about the best I ever used.
Ten meters only.
CW and USB only.
Very tight RX
No AM
No FM
No LSB
But I doubt you will find one now days.
The Last model of the RCI2950DX that I had was not bad, but I still found myself backing off the RF gain because the RX was so hot.
The Lincoln II I bought and sent back was not good.
I have not tried the + model but I have been told it was better that the first version.
Would be great if some one had the time ( and radios) to sit down and do some testing.
The guys across the pond say the last version of the Grant II Premium with the better filter was good.

I still remember the day, walking out of the Athens, Ohio Radio Shack with one. Great radio.

I saw a used one FS on QRZ this morning. Don't know if it's still FS or even if it the price was good.

I'm looking for the frequency expansion information. It's probably a guarded secret, though.

I was going to order one from Amazon. I have reward points built up. I was bummed to find sales tax on it. I hate paying sales tax.

I just saw a Realistic HTX-10 on QTH.com for $80 plus $20 shipping.I have owned several of them & they are very good 10 meter radios.If I were looking for just a 10 meter radio it would be my 1st choice & I have owned the Exports & a couple of 2950's & a couple of 2510's & I still like the HTX-10 the most.

You just missed it by a few days. Ohio started collecting taxes on 9/1/19.

My state is not on the list (yet).

I didn't know that. I suppose that's why I've seen more of my purchases being taxed.

Delaware has no sales tax.

Just ordered the G90. I've eyed it for a while. Reading more about it's performance made it a must try. Not feeling love for the big honky mic, but we'll find something different.
