Do you recommend it for MWDX, or is it just inexpensive? Is it
selective and sensitive enough for DX? Audio good enough for solid QRZ?
Will an external outdoor antenna overload it?

With a icf-s10mk2 and a 4 ft loop, mutually coupled, you can pick up
some great DX.

Most likely, those paying hundreds more are a bit ****ed they didn't get
more for their money ... now they are into another hobby and a 10 buck
radio would just be fine.

With a decent tuned antenna for MW, and mutually coupled to the loop in
the radio with a few turns, you could probably hear more than you ever
thought possible.

Besides, once you are bored (and find you can do with just listening to
local talk shows) you don't have $500 to $1,000+ tied up in something
that has just about become worthless to you and is destined for ebay.
Where did you think all those radios on ebay came from in the first
place? Krist, I swear, some of those radios on ebay are probably going
there for their 10th time!

JS

YEA - I wonder, how much craigm and others have ****ed away on over-
hyped CCrane, Gringid, and SR long-distance radios ! The S10MK2 works
just as well - suckers !

I would say that just about everyone that reads or posts here are
suckers then. Except for you of course.
