Mike - How many Shortwave Radios and HF Receivers
have you bought in the last year or two ? ~ RHF


The 320 I've had for five years. I was using a Zenith Transoceanic
before that, along with several underachieving Realistic sets. Realistic
did manage to get some good scanners built for them, however. I
sometimes fire up the Pro2005.

In the last year I managed to get a slightly used 800 for a very good
price. It had the ball bearing behind the tuning shaft.

I've also had the good fortune of finding a Kenwood 1000 and 600 in the
last few years. Then there was the Yaesu VR 5000. The Yaesu is a mixed
bag. In some ways it is brilliant, but in others, well...

Being cheap, I don't get these sets as often or quickly as I should.
There is a Sangean 909 here along with it's 398 cousin. Both fine little
sets. Those have been around for a few years now.

There are some others around here, but I won't go into it, for fear of
looking like Cuhulin and his treasure trove.
