Hi, after reading you folks I also had to comment. I've been seriously
thinking about getting rid of my Delta, serial # 67. But you remind me of
what's good about the rig. I just haven't used it much lately but will
start using it more now. I agree it has an excellent low noise rcvr.
Signals pop out in a quite band. I've compared it to my Omni C and find it
a tad better. The C's a bit noisier. I've also owned a Triton and a
Paragon, and still think the Delta is quieter. Not quite as good on
selectivity though, although the audio filters do a great job.
I'm fortunate, I have all the bands and calibration appears good. I'll
put a counter to it this weekend.
Good hamming to all Vin W1TUJ
