Yep. I realized that about 10 seconds after I hit the Send button. *Blush*
pAny one else got a Radio Shack SW100?

br Hello John,
br
br I just received an SW100 last week that I won on ebay. It's in great
br shape and I'm really enjoying it. The analog slide rule tuning with
br speed and fine tuning knobs are more fun to use for SW and MW band
br scanning than the digital buttons on my Degen 1102, even though the
br scale on my SW100 seems to be about a 1/4 inch low. The radio itself
is
br certainly not as portable, but the speaker quality is easier to listen
br to than the small Degen speaker, too.
br
br Looking around on the internet, I haven't been able to locate a whole
br lot of information about this radio. I posted a query on the Radio
Shack
br group list but haven't heard anything yet. If you or anyone else
on the
br list can answer any of these questions, I'd appreciate your input.
br
br What are other users' impressions of this radio?
br
br When were they sold by Radio Shack?
br
br What were they thinking when they added the "direction finder"?
br
br Does anyone have or know where I can get a copy of the users manual?
br
br Has anyone come up with any mods?
br
br Looking forward to some learning more from the list.

br
br I miss your contributions here.
br I'm still trying to keep things on topic but it's getting really
br trying.
br You can see what happened just with this thread. I feel sorry
for the
br OP. Do you hang out on any other groups for your shortwave 'fix'?
br
br Not getting enough of a fix right now. Haven't gotten a good antenna
up
br yet. Site is real quiet: reception outside with the SW100 is great.
But
br the R8 doesn't work so well in the gadget-laden house with a makeshift
br antenna.
