If you are going to be in Jerusalem, look me up.

Geoff.

WOW, you live in Jerusalem? Beautiful, soooo much I have read about
Israel
and Jerusalem, I feel I know the place.

Hopefully (one day) unless the rapture happens or I die, I'd love to go
there. It is definitely target #1 for me. :-D

Hello all

I have a DX 392, and I am going to Israel in a month. I will pack it
into my checked baggage, but I recall an older copy of Passport saying
bringing a shortwave into some Middle eastern countries is frowned
upon.

Does anybody have any opinions?

Thanks, Jay

I don't think you'll have a problem with Israel but countries such as
Saudi Arabia could give you a hard time. That's why the version of the
Sony-2010 sold there was factory modified to not receive certain
frequency ranges that were prohibited for the public to use in Saudi
Arabia.

Ah, you dog!! Have a great time. Business or pleasure may I ask?

If you really want some fun, smuggle a scanner in. Many today are
portable and hand-held, and look like a cell phone. But don't talk
about it, as they are illegal there as in most Middle Eastern
countries. Depending on your knowledge of Hebrew, you can listen to
Magen David Adom, Israel Police, Taxis, Ben-Gurion Airport traffic,
etc. Ham radio operators won't have a problem, but otherwise people
with a scanner should keep a low profile. In Tel-Aviv and Jerusalem
you can also often hear English, French, etc. traffic between the
consulates and embassies.

Tell me about it! I know there's 'programs' out there to translate what is
being said. I'd love to monitor the spectrum in Israel!!
