Hello John,
pI just received an SW100 last week that I won on ebay. It's in great
shape and I'm really enjoying it. The analog slide rule tuning with speed
and fine tuning knobs are more fun to use for SW and MW band scanning than
the digital buttons on my Degen 1102, even though the scale on my SW100
seems to be about a 1/4 inch low. The radio itself is certainly not as
portable, but the speaker quality is easier to listen to than the small
Degen speaker, too.
pLooking around on the internet, I haven't been able to locate a whole
lot of information about this radio. I posted a query on the Radio Shack
group list but haven't heard anything yet. If you or anyone else on the
list can answer any of these questions, I'd appreciate your input.
pWhat are other users' impressions of this radio?
pWhen were they sold by Radio Shack?
pWhat were they thinking when they added the "direction finder"?
pDoes anyone have or know where I can get a copy of the users manual?
pHas anyone come up with any mods?
pLooking forward to some learning more from the list.
pPete Davis

br I'm still trying to keep things on topic but it's getting really
trying.
br You can see what happened just with this thread. I feel sorry for
the
br OP. Do you hang out on any other groups for your shortwave 'fix'?
pNot getting enough of a fix right now. Haven't gotten a good antenna
up
bryet. Site is real quiet: reception outside with the SW100 is great.
But
brthe R8 doesn't work so well in the gadget-laden house with a makeshift
brantenna.
