RF-2001 Receiver
The RF-2001 is similar to the basic RJ 1.1 Jove receiver except that it includes a front panel signal strength indicator and a DC signal strength voltage suitable for use with an analog to digital converter. The RF-2001 is available built and tested from RF Associates, rf@hawaii.rr.com.

Icom R-75
The Icom R-75 is an excellent commercial receiver that has been used by many Jove observers. The AGC can be turned off with a front panel switch on the R-75. This is not true for other modern Icom receivers such as the PCR1000. The dynamic range of the R-75 is best when the receiver is used in SSB mode.
