My only problem is that I live on a hill with the top being occupied with a few local AM band transmitter antennas. They clobber the LW band but beyond that all is well. I have been exploring the SW bands since I was a wee lad and this radio with the RadioLabs mods is great. I started out way back when on an old radio that my folks gave me, wish I still had it. A Zenith Transoceanic. So much fun to hear the world. Many more radios in between. Now I hear the world even better. I would recommend to anyone who is contemplating an upper range mid-priced receiver to give serious thought to this one. I have not yet even hooked up an external antenna and have plenty of contacts to explore and try to identify. Wife thinks I am nuts listening to faint, scratchy signals, but that is okay, I just smile and tweak the tuning dial a bit more. Okay, question time. Has anyone here installed "Shotwave Log" and if so how did it go, specifically on a Win XP machine? Since buying an unmodified Sangean 909 I've heard (and learned firsthand) that it has poor SW sensitivity. Does the "Super" treatment make a difference in that? Sounds like it maybe creates a concomitant increase in overloading problems in a strong-signal environment. Since I have never tried an un-modified one I really do not have a direct comparison on the sensitivity increase. I do, however, know that the sensitivity is very good on this one. As far as overloading it is not a big problem although it is somewhat noticeable. The modified filters (again no direct comparison) seem to work well on shutting out adjacent stations. You obviously don't use it for SSB. Ciao, Falcon |
