Hello, I'm interested in trying shortwave listening. I have narrowed
my choices to the Kaito 1103, and Sony SW7600GR.
I would very much appreciate any opinions on which you prefer, and
why.
Also, is lack of wide/narrow switch on the Sony a problem?
Thanks.
I strongly recommend against getting a mid-priced portable for your
first radio. They have very limited reception capabilities. You want
something with SSB and the ability to use a full antenna. Maybe a nice
used "tabletop" receiver.
Have you read "Passport to World Band Radio"?
The best portatop that I have come across is the Eton Corp. éton e1
world radio. It every now and then even equals my Drake R8E. Very good
value for the money.
