I'm not entirely sure I want one but the price could be a

determining
factor.

Preselectors are OK ; they do block some stuff;
- however, it comes at a price of a few less decibels of input

from
the
antenna

Buy the Cheaper MFJ unit; it will probably help the older tube

sets.

I had it , then upgraded to the 1046;
- which I have now disconnected..

Nice, but not mandatory

I

I wasn't too clear on my needs. I
shouldn't have even mentioned the blowtorch as it really

isn't
a
problem.
IF I was at home during the day and wanted to listen to the
shortwave,
it
would be a MAJOR problem. Alas, I work for a living and am

not
home
during
the day. I just mentioned that. Why, I'm not sure. What I

was
REALLY
wanting to know was if a preselector would help with

blocking
spurious
signals and images out of my older tube single conversion

radios.
Nothing to
do with the blowtorch. He isn't a problem in the evening

after
they
turn
down the power. Again, I appreciate everyone's comments. I

am
learning
more than I could have hoped to.
