Is there a high end SW radio from China coming ????
Just to add a bit to what I posted befo
We know that China makes SW broadcast transmitting equipment;
they've installed some in Cuba and there were a number of Chinese
technicians stationed there for SWBC support -- not sure if they're
still there or not. Anyway, one would think that a Chinese company
making SW transmitters might get involved in making high-end SW
receiving gear for monitoring, in addition to whatever the Chinese
military or intelligence organizations might want made for them.
Probably would have been more cost-effective, at least in the past,
than spending foreign currency to buy multi-kilobuck receivers from
overseas. They certainly have the capability to clone Watkins-Johnson
and other such receivers made for those markets.
If a $5-$10 K level receiver came on the market for $1K list, I wonder
what the possible sales figures would be?
