It only has the stock - including the two ham bands 20m and 80m that
puzzle some folks (why not 13 and 60 for SWL?) but it has the spaces
for two additional, and I think I know some companies out there that
can make custom crystals for the radio. I expect that I will try to
get some for 60m and for 13.5 - 14 MHz. Since each one requires the
addition of an internal cap, these may be it for awhile - or maybe
I'll get fancy and come up with an easy system for plugging crystals
in and out with a variable cap so I can get other bands. We'll see.
I still need to perfect my cornball antenna system.
ICM in Oklahoma still makes them.
