I have a Nissan Car radio with shortwave, and its sensitivity suddenly dropped on AM & SW. FM still ok.

What to do?


Well you can have it repaired or buy a new one. I think having it repaired
may be very costly or the parts necessary to do the repair are no longer
available.


Does anyone still sell dash mount SW radios? (I know, I should follow my own usual advice and do a Google!).

I do recall in the late 70's when on occasion I would be a "duty driver" on my ship in the US Navy and I
would have to drive the Captain or others around, and in many cases in various ports in Europe we would have a
rental car which would have a dash radio which I seem to remember at least had the 49 meter band on it. Seems
as though I may remember listening to say Radio Luxembourg playing the latest hits?

Wonder if that's still a feature over there?
