I spent a lot of money to get my R3, so I probably won't be getting another
radio anytime soon.

So you're all stuck with my reception reports being heard on an IC-R3.

I realize that it's not the best radio, and not the best shortwave radio, but
right now, it's the only working radio I have that is capable of tuning
shortwave (in AM mode).

It won't tune SSB.
