..or I should say Liking Short Wave on an older "classic" transistor
portable.

Recently I bought a Zenith R7000-2 in excellent condition and I'm
enjoying this radio like I enjoyed listening back in the late '60's on
my first short wave set...a Knight Star Roamer (tube version) which I
built from the kit.

Finally figured out what it is...I like the old analog dial face of both
of these radios. The sensitivity of the Zenith isn't as good as my Eton
E5 off the whip (albeit a shorter whip than the Zenith) but the Eton
doesn't "tell" me what to expect to hear on the various bands like the
Zenith or Knight radios do. I'm referring to the simple printed
designations of what the different band spectrum is allocated to
receive. This makes it kind of interesting to see if there's any of
that activity where they claim it should be.

The band usage does change over time. You might want to check an up to
date band allocation map against what is on a old radio analog dial. The
meter designations don't change of course but the Ham band ends
sometimes change over time.
