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

people actually talk about things relevant to shortwave here, rather than

constantly sending people elsewhere.
