The only comments I remember reading about shortwave converters were
not very good. Poor reception, lots of adjacent signal interference,
etc. Additionally, tuning the shortwave bands may be a real pita
unless you happen to have an analog am radio. Most cars come equipped
with digital radios having 10khz channel separation. Consequently band
tuning for stations will involve punching up a frquency on the AM
receiver and tuning back and forth with the clarifier dial on the
converter while driving down the highway at 65mph.

You would be better off trying to find one of the increasingly rare
after market radios designed to receive shortwave. I believe Sony
still makes one. But count on only getting strong signals at night.

Didn't the place known as Jackies (sp) over in Bahrain or some such carry some
auto SW receivers?

The rental cars we used to get in Spain, Italy and elsewhere (mid to late 70's)
used to have radios with at least the 6 MHz band installed.

Yes, that was the place...Jackies sold a Sony car receiver with
shortwave. I wonder if one of the european radio makers still sells
them. Last time I rented a car in the U.K. it had AM and FM coverage
but that was it.

from Miami,Florida) in Petal,Mississippi,she hasen't emailed in over
tree months.What's I supposed to do?

This guy in the USA is apparently still selling the Sony Shortwave
radio for cars:

And the old european standby Blaupunkt has at least one radio with 49
meter and LW coverage (whoppee) for sale in Germany. It didn't appear
in the UK listings for them however.

http://www.blaupunkt.com/

My honest opinion is that the money and effort it will take to get
shortwave coverage in a car isn't justified by the likely results.
Signal strength won't be what it is in europe so reception will be
subject to a lot of fading, static and car generated noise.
