[TenTec] RX366

[Barry N1EU]

I just spent a few minutes doing an A/B comparison of an original
subrx (in 566) with a RX-366 subrx (in 565).  I used a delta loop
antenna to listen to 9MHz SWL band and a 580ft Beverage antenna to
listen to AM BCB.  Bottom line, there's no comparison - in these two
instances, original subrx hears MUCH better than the RX-366.

So if you only use your subrx for SWL'ing or AM BCB, stick with the
original subrx.  If you actually use your subrx for ham radio, the
RX-366 will be a HUGE improvement.

73,
