I'm curious as to what users have found when they use the general coverage
in their ham transciever for SWLing and VLF. Has anyone made any AB
comparisons to their SWL gen. cov. RX? Which ones seem to be best? I know
Kenwood and Icom make SWL receivers that look much like a transciever and
might even use the same circuitry, not sure about Yaesu though. The Icom
R-75 looks a lot like the Icom 718 but the Rx has the PS built in. I can't
recall the Kewood models. How about the Kenwood TS-2000 or Icom 756 Pro for
gen cov?
My FT-817 does a fair job on shortwave, given a decent antenna. It=3Fs
the first one I=3Fve had that has general-coverage (its predecessors were
all boat-anchors) so I can=3Ft give you much in the way of comparisons.
