Hi,
I am planning to get back to SWL after being away from it since the Radio
Shack DX300 was the new thing. Don't know a thing about whats good and whats
not good in radios any more. I'm looking to spend $200-300 or thereabouts
for a radio, new or used. Any good online sellers that are reputable? I see
a lot of Grundig 800s on ebay, any good? Seems like too many of them for
sale there.
Any opinions would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Bob

I would like to second the recommendation of the used Kenwood R5000
and the Drake R8. Either choice would be very good with the nod going
to the Drake.
