Okay, I originally asked about the Grundig 750 which sells for around $300.
Now I would like to know what can be considered the BEST shortwave radio for $400 or less. I'm sure I'll get a slew of answers but I would like to have your opinions nonetheless. Thanks, Rob |

Thanks, Rob Ten-Tec RX-320 This is not a stand alone radio. The OP obviously has access to computers. Computers have a tendency to generate interference. On the plus side they can range from improving what you can hear to being necessary for decoding digital modes but I gathered that the OP was looking for international broadcasters. The computer in not a big plus here unless he has a well isolated antenna. If he wants to follow your radio advice then he needs to get an outdoor antenna that is isolated from the computer equipment noise. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

Most radios have computers inside them; can outside be that much worse? The answer is much worse. Separate computer, monitors, keyboards, mice, routers, UPS, printers, and all that interconnecting cable make a lot more noise. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

Separate computer, monitors, keyboards, mice, routers, UPS, printers, and all that interconnecting cable make a lot more noise. Could be you paid too much to get all that extra radiation ? I recently got a middle of aisle bargain emachines from WalMart that doesn't generate any interference, There's a gob of wires to the amplified subwoofer 'n speakers, DSL modem etc. all just under the same bench as my Ham station which is about as sensitive to noise as the portable E1, yet I hear the neighbors' CFL porch light better than anything in here. Maybe some day when they're not home I'll try to filter it with a broom handle. g I forgot about the DSL modem. The UPS is the worst noise source. It only affects 60 and 49 meters. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
