WA7DUY:
Is anyone still using the BC779?  That was my first receiver as a novice in 1967.

There was some discussion on one of the email reflectors about the BC779 and mods including I think these mods listed here but the tone was not favorable.  Did anyone do these mods?  What was your experience?  Was it worth doing the mod?

Thank you.

Steve W8TOW:
I use both a BC-779 and also 1004 (which has 160m coverage!)
These are wonderful receivers and (to me) more appealing than looking at a R390...IMHO
This summer, I'd like to pick up a 2nd 779 or 1004 so I can create a "dual diversity" receiver....
anyone got one in the mid-west they wanna part with?

WA7DUY:
I wonder if anyone has put in sockets and plugs to make the external power supply a plug in unit rather than a wire in unit on the BC779's?

I'm using a SP-400, and rebuilding my chrome plated BC-779(into a BC-1004) for future use.

Yes, a 12-pin Jones connector plug/socket set works nicely.
