I share your love for shortwave radio. But a blackberry owner will

You can't beat that..... And a blackberry owner can do with 1,000s of
stations.

Now of course a blackberry only will do that in certain areas, not
everywhere. I don't like em myself.

again.
Stupid as it may sound, I predict a huge resurgence in SW radio when
Cycle 24 gets seriously under way. No...SW radio is not going away.

I love your postings but I gotta disagree that there will be a
resurgence in SW radio. It won't ever go away either in our lifetimes.

Anyhow, happy listening and keep posting your logs.A big thank you for
those. *Glad you enjoy the 750 so much,

Have you had a chance to check it out on LSB in the ham bands???

Yes, I sure have checked it out on Ham bands. LSB on 80 and 40 meters
is very good. I compared it to an HW101 I use occasionally for Ham
contacts, and sensitivity and noise floor are actually a bit better on
the 750, but of course the HW 101 (Heath) was a dedicated SSB and CW
transceiver and so was a great rig in its day. Sharper filtering by a
good margin than the 750. The 750 does not dedicate ssb to the extent
of newer Ham transceivers of course, mainly due to the versatlity
required of an all mode receiver. SSB operation of the 750 relies on a
very low noise floor rather than sharp filtering. CW reception is
really superb, again due to the very low noise floor, but does not
have a very narrow CW filter.
AM broadcast band is very good on the 750 with the swivel antenna on
top, and really helps nulling out or enhancing signals. FM is just so-
so, but there is a dedicated antenna input for this mode, which I have
not yet got around to testing. Hope to put up an oudoor FM antenna in
Spring (Too dang cold right now). I suspect that this will add FM as
one of the virtues of the 750.
The memory system of the 750 is really good, I've already entered at
least 150
presets in the English language for various hours of the day.
Well I've rambled on here for quite a while, so I will sign out for
now, and thanks for you kind comments.
Good Listening from SW4ever...
