I'll take a NC-300 or 303 over those others any day, its the classic look
that counts along with excellent performance.
I had a 2B in the early 60's and was very dissapointed with its poor
overload performance, dumped it in a year. I guess they are OK on a modest
antenna but I had a tribander at 70', a full size 40M vertical at 70' on top
of a pine tree and an 80M dipole between the tower and tree. This was on a
hilltop in Lexington, MA which was a Boston suburb with lots of hams.
