Who knows why he replied to an existing message, but obviously he had to change the subject header because whatever message he replied to wouldn't have been about this receiver. He must be clueless, since he posted it to rec.radio.amateur.equipment rec.radio.amateur.boatanchors rec.radio.swap rec.radio.amateur.equipment none of which really have relevance. ..equipment is about amateur radio equipment, and this isn't. ..boatanchors is about old and heavey equipment, and this isn't. ..swap is for buying and selling, and this isn't I have no idea why he had .equipment twice in the newsgroup header. And the one place where there is real relevance, rec.radio.shortwave is missing. And he seems to be saying it's a lousy receiver (all those birdies) yet a good bargain. Maybe he's saying that despite the digital readout it's about par with all those low end junk shortwave receivers we had to put up with forty years ago because it was all we could afford, even if they were never appropriate for ham use with the ham bands taking up a quarter inch or so each on the dial, and the backlash for the tuning was so bad that you had to tune out of the band before you could tune back in. That Grundig Satellite 700 that I bought a month ago for 2.00 at the Rotary Club sale was a great bargain, and at least it is halfway old enough to be a boatanchor. All those years of going to rummage and garage sales and never seeing a shortwave receiver, and this is the second Grundig I've found (and bought) in three years. I wouldn't really use it as a serious ham band receiver, but it sure beats a lot of junk from the old days. Michael VE2BVW |
