Hi Justis,
I was recently given a G.E. World Monitor P2900A SW radio from my father. I was wondering if you happen to have a manual and or schematics for it? t |

Hey guys- Complete& total SW rookie here. Today I was given a rarely-used GE shortwave radio model 7-2990A today from a neighbor who was cleaning out his mother-in-law's house to sell. It's in perfect shape and I'm excited to have it. I know nothing about this radio, or how to operate it, or SW at all. I'm all over the www reading about SW in general, but I would love to get a copy (or a PDF?) of the original manual so I can figure out the knobs, etc. Would also love to know more about this radio's shortfalls, things to improve, etc. I'm in SoCal. You can reach me directly (probably the best way) at: forsaleinfl at aol dot com Thanks for any info/tips/advice! -greg Listen between 9.4 and 10 MHz in the morning. 17.5 to 17.8 MHz early evening. These are the Asian/Pacific stations. There's also a bunch of Canadian relays everywhere. Monitoring Times magazine has a pretty good schedule. |

Note that most stations are on frequencies that fall into distinct MHz "bands" - 3.6-4, 4.7-5.1, 5.8-6.2, 7.1 - 7.5, 9.3-10, 11.5 - 12.1, 13.5- 13.9 15-15.5, and 17.6-17.9 MHz. A few other bands too, typically hard to hear. Usually the lower freqs are better at night, and then the higher freqs become more prominent during the day. The 7, 9, 11 and 15 MHz bands are generally excellent at sunrise and sunset too, and lingering good results can be had after those times, especially on 11 and 15 MHz. Have fun! Bruce Jensen |
