Kam:
The FR-200 is a single reduction set, you need something more sophisticated for
real DX'ing..

Try the Sony 7600GR.

or this one...

- BTW, what kind of external antenna are you using; that is 55% of a Shortwave
radio..

A million thanks to you Dan for your help in finding a
dual convrsion digital sw radio . During my student days 1959 - 61 in
India the institute had a Hallicrafters - SX - 100 and was much
impressed with its performance . Later I collected many WW -2
communication receivers like the Bendix - 624 , AN/ARC - 5 etc and
made them operational . Today ny knowledge of digital technology is
definetely lacking and I was totally ignorant that dual conversion
digital sets are available . That's a little btiefing about me .

Coming to the next point at present I am not using any external
antenna and the telescope antenna along with the receiver is the only
source . Pl. suggest if an external antenna would help , if so which
one .

How does Kaito KA 1102 compare with Hallicrafters SX-100
performane wise.

I look forward to your feed back on this matter .

Best regards ,
Kam

Hi Kam:

ANY peice of wire over 15 feet long, hooked to the whip, or plugged into the
antenna jack, and kept away from electrical equipment will help

The site below will help
