Hello all,
I have been listening for about 9 months now and finally I am starting to feel
comfortable in my knowledge of shortwave and the propagation of international
broadcasts. I use a portable receiver but now want to move to the next level
with a good radio and an active SW antenna. My question is Where can I go to
trade up to a better radio? Are there sites where SWL's have swap type setups?
Can anyone give me advice about getting a used Drake, Kenwood, Yaesu, Icom,
Ten-Tec?? The new radios are nice but 1500$ is a bit too steep at this point.
73,
Neil
I would recommend:
Drake R8 series
ICOM ICR-70 or 71
All are great radio and sell well used
Also, the JRC NRD515 and 525
The Kenwood R5000 too.
