Being new to shortwave listening and looking for a good portable around
$100... what's available.
Are these as good as they say in the ads?
The E 5 looks like it's got all that I could use but not having a chance to
try it outside the store, how well does it really work? Any problems with
it?
I look forward to your expert commentary and thanks.


The E5 is a good radio. I have one and am quite happy with it. I'm
an experienced SWL and ham operator and in my opinion this is a great
little radio. Sensitivity, selectivity, image rejection, audio
quality are all very good. I've just used it with the built-in whip
antenna and included wire antenna so far. My only complaint is
batteries do not last very long before needing to be recharged. But
it does come with an AC adapter so it can still be used when the
batteries run down.
