Never before have I hooked up a SW radio to a good outdoor antenna and
been so hugely impressed as with the Sat750.
Signals here were booming in the last 2 days in the afternoon, usually
a noisy, weak signal period at this location. Also my location is
electrically horrendous, masking many signals. But using my Hustler
ground mounted 5BTV vertical, quieting was amazing, all electrical
interference dropped below the receiver noise floor !!! A good outside
antenna appears to be an absolute must with this radio. Reception off
the whip is quite good, but it really shines using a good grade
outdoor antenna.
The memory setup is fantastic. The 500 preset range can be set up
using 25 pages of 20 presets each. I have already programmed over 100
stations in 2 days, some i've never heard here before. I use Page 1
for 0100 UTC hour programs, Page 2 for 0200 UTC etc...Down to Page 24
for 2400 (0000) UTC.
I don't understand some of the critical comments on the 750. Yes it
has some warts,which I am noting and will include in my full review
coming in the next few weeks. But my advice to those who pan the
radio, beg, borrow or buy one and use it for a few days, BUT use only
a GOOD outdoor antenna. You may (or may not) agree with me that for
SW, the 750 is an excellent, fun radio.

I need to know more about outdoor antenae. What to buy? How to set it up?
Etc.

Plenty of books around on the topic. I suggest buying some and start
reading. You can buy the books at Universal Radio and other places that
sell antennas.

When you have some specific questions come back and ask them here.
