recently acquired S-53.

What's the S-53?

Just Google "s-53 radio" and you'll soon find out.

Except now that there was actually a thread with conversation on topic

This newsgroup really went downhill in the days of "RHF" with his
continuous spew of links to elsewhere, the only way it recovers is if
people actually talk about things relevant to shortwave here, rather than
constantly sending people elsewhere.
