Default Antenna Question For Handhelds

Hello,

Enjoy sw listening, but frankly not all that sharp re antennas.

Over the past few months, I have seen several ads for those handheld sw
receivers and transceivers. *From different mfgs.
About the size of the typical hand-held scanner receiver.

They all seem to cover up to at least 30 MHz, and most beyond.


If you're thinking about buying one, be warned that most wide-coverage
hand-helds suck below 30 mhz.
