The lower priced HF-150 is also a double conversion set and has two IF filters, nominally 6.5 and 2.6 KHz. Unlike the filters in its big brother, the ones in the HF-150 are selected by mode, so you cannot "open up" the selectivity when in SSB. This is not a big problem because the set's PLL synchronous detector will lock on the weakest signals and it allows selection of filter width. The HF-150 has no noise blanker. The "AMS" detector in the HF-150 is much better than in the older radio.
For one thing, it allows selection of upper or lower sideband. It also hangs on to the carrier for dear life! The radio will lock on to the weakest carriers too. It's also standard equipment. The external keypad cost extra, but it's worth it. The HF-150 is only about half the size of its big brother, measuring just 7.25 x 3.125 x 6.25 inches. Its case is made of heavy gauge extrude aluminium, so the receiver will take a lot of banging around. The HF-150 is powered by 8 penlight batteries and a new set of alkalines only lasts about 5 or 6 hours, because of the heavy current drawn by the set. An AC adaptor is supplied with the radio.
