Hello...

Well, my AN-LP1 arrived from Japan, and I hooked it up to the G5 and
hung the antenna in the window for a first listen to short wave. I
clearly makes a big difference, Radio Havana was noisy, but became
crystal clear when I switched the antenna on. Clearly at different
times of the day, there are more or less stations detected.

I enjoyed listening to the news from some other country. This is why I
am trying short wave. However, even Radio Havana, which seemed to be
coming in pretty well, would wax and wave in loudness and reception
clarity. I can live with this, but it would be much more desirable for
this not to happen. Are there countermeasures one can take, technology
one can buy, etc.?

I have not tried SSB on the G5 but will tonight (I saw there is a
section in the G5 manual on it, haven't got there yet). Will this
help?

If I had the Sony SW7600GR, which I am probably going to get just for
comparison, would the synchronous detection solve this problem?

Thanks.....

Jim

PS .. I tried to post this earlier, thought I did. Pardon me if this
shows up twice...
