Can anyone reccomend a new radio for me
Hi
My Yupiteru MVT7100 has given up the ghost and died on me. As far as HF SSB reception went it was ok at listening to Shanwick and occasionally Gander but apart from that no other stations were heard. Can anyone please reccomend a cheap, good quality second hand receiver? Thanks Steve |

I think the new Grundig G5 has all the good things from the 440/803a and 909 combined. In my opinion. |

Can anyone please reccomend a cheap, good quality second hand receiver? Thanks Steve I personally have never heard of a "Yupiteru". I assume that this was some sort of tabletop. If you want a tabletop, I recommend keeping an eye out for a 1980s Frog Series Yaesu, a FRG 7000, 7700 or 8800. I own the 8800 and aside from being extremely touchy when it comes to power (any sudden surge can temporarily scramble the chips, so I keep it on a surge protector that I use as a master switch to completely turn off juice when it's not in use) it's a great rig. These were popular in their day but are hard to find on ebay-people hang on to them because they're so nice. If you can't get one of those, try an Icom, readily available on Ebay for $400 or so. I don't know much about Icoms so somebody else will have to recommend one. After that, tabletops get expensive-Drakes can fetch $2,000 each. Kenwood made HF rigs in the 80s, but if you're looking on ebay, you will have to dig through a million ads for car stereos to find one. |

Good audio out the speaker. |
