Combining the Sony ICF-SW7600GR and Sony AN-LP1

IMHO - Using the Sony ICF-SW7600GR Radio with the
Sony AN-LP1 Active Shortwave Loop Antenna
- - - The combination-of-the-two together make for good
Shortwave Listening (SWL) Traveling Companions.

Sorry for my naivete, but :

When I was a kid, a decent shortwave radio cost over $300.00, weighed
about 10 pounds and required a roof antenna.

Could I get a portable SW for under $100, and what could I expect for
this price? Â*(I just want to listen).

Thanks.

If you use computers, you would be better served getting on the right
lists to find a used TenTecRX320 for about 2 bills.

http://radio.tentec.com/Amateur/Receivers/TT320

A computer controlled receiver like the RX 320 and a rudimentary
antena will egt you the world AND automatic station Identification and
logging

see me off list when you decide to get one
