- You know Steve, the Triton IV was one fantastic radio. It had a really hot receiver. I think that was one of the best kept secrets of that era. An even bigger, better kept secret is that the Argonaut

- The 509 is pretty good too. If you look for mods for it, you can find both a mod for improving sensitivity (replacing front end dual gate MOSFET with a 3n211 or the RCA equivalent) and a mod for redu
