HELP BEFORE NOON EST 2/15
Hey everyone,
I just found your group because I am going to buy TODAY,without fail,a SW radio and I need your help.I will check back every few hours and see what people who actually know something say. All I have is radio shack.I am in Chattanooga,Tn(welcome to hell),and Best Buy here has nothing in stock.What do you guys suggest from the wonderful world of Radio Shack?I went to their website,and it's down as to what is in stock at particular stores,and I have about $200. Also,I live in a house,and get do whatever when it comes to an antennae,but what to buy,etc.,would really help. I know this is asking a great deal,but also,how do I tune in/find english programming? I appreciate any help..... Respond to group only or my web tv addy with a subject line about SW. I am getting about 25 spam mails a day telling me how to increase my penis size. Maybe I should spend the $200 on that.(kidding) Thanks, Parker |

And do you want a portable or a tabletop receiver? For $200 you can get nice used equipment like a Yaesu FRG7700 or FRG8800 wich will outperform any portable by far. odo |

While you can get a cheap receiver from Radio Shack, you might be a whole
lot happier with something right out of the box which does not need modification to function and satisfy. Il Far di Niento "Diverd4777" wrote in message ... Hi Parker: Check at this sto http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/portable.html I've bought stuyff htere & they are quite good. for $200, and never having had a Short Wave, check out the Sangean 505A http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...able/3505.html - Here's a review of it by radio netherlands.. http://www.rnw.nl/realradio/ats505.html Radio SHack sold this model as the DX-404 ; I have 2 freinds who bought these & loved them An external antenna will help; 20 - 30 feet of wire strung out away from electronic equipment & neat windows . / Outside with the end wrapped around the Whip antenna usually does the trick. as for programming, , most SWR come with a small program guide. 5.975 is the BBC from Antigua , tune around, or find a Huge magazine store and look for Monitoring Times Magazine. Else, you can go down to the " Barnes & Noble" & buy " Passport To Worldband Radio" 2004 edition Dan - In article , (parkersmith) writes: Hey everyone, I just found your group because I am going to buy TODAY,without fail,a SW radio and I need your help.I will check back every few hours and see what people who actually know something say.
