Default Starting into Shortwave, wanting to make sure I get a good receiver.

I just recently learned about shortwave. I believe it would be
something very good to get into.

I am not 100% sure on what to get in a receiver.

I want a portable kind so I can travel with it.

I found this online:

Kaito 1102 AM/FM Shortwave Radio

Is that a good radio to start out with or is it sucky?

I want to be able to pretty much hear everything and anything but I
don't wanna pay $1,000+. Is there a really nice portable that has a
fairly reasonable price tag? I seen some for like $350 but I don't
wanna spend that much until I know for a fact I am getting a great
radio.


Hello Again,

I notice that Google Groups somewhat "truncated" the links I posted.
An easy "fix" is to just copy the part after the blue link, click on
the link, and then paste the copied portion next to the site to which
the (partial) link takes you. Once you do that, the link functions
perfectly. I tried it myself.

Best,

Joe
