Testing of the “Stressless“ HF Receiver by Stampfl in Germany

The Stampfl “Stressless“ is a very simple HF receiver tuning from 100 khz to 30 mHz. There is no SSB and only a single (though well chosen) bandwidth. This receiver comes in kit form and features a large bright front display, main tuning knob, speaker on/off switch, headphone jack, volume control and a single LED for signal level. On the back are a 11-15V DC jack and BNC. About as basic as they come, but strangely fun to use even without reception tools found on almost every other HF receiver. Beautiful white heavy metal cabinet makes this look very good on a desk or among other receivers. Stampfl () is known for making some excellent antennas and other equipment for SWLs and amateur radio operators. I’ll have a more extensive review of the “Stressless“ in coming weeks.
