Regarding my current sw Radio
Hi..
I have really enjoyed reading the feed back on my first post (need advice for a short wave radio). Had no idea there was so much technical knowledge involved!! You guys sure know your stuff. I did not mention the model and make of my current radio. I currently have a Realistic DX-360. It has analog tuning 6 separate short wave bands as well as am and fm. There is a jack for dc current and an ear phone jack. There is NO jack for an external antenna. A telescoping antenna comes out to about 3 feet length or so. I am not very happy with this radio due to lots of fading in and out and only the strong stations come in at all. I live in the Northeast US and I am mostly interested in getting Radio Canada, Radio Switzerland and Radio France International. Anything else is gravy!! I really want to keep price under a hundred. Lastly..has anyone noticed the strong proliferation of evangelistic religious type radio stations on short wave? does many folks really listen to them? Wish I could filter them out but oh well!! I went to a radio shack today and asked to see a Grundig Yacht boy 300. I saw it. Trouble is..the salesman new nothing about the features. Hmmm..dont like buying from a place with unknoledgable salesman! Thanks guys for all your help!!! David |
