I just received my "Super" Sangean 909 and it is great. 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?

Ciao,

Shortwave Log installed easily on my WIN XP computer. It requires
installation of a few extra files and runs great.

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I was a little hesitant due to all the
talk about the ".net" and other aspects that seemed like possible
trouble. Hard enough to keep these machines stable without adding to
the problem with software that might be risky.

Later

Okay, I installed it and no problems. Now I have to learn how to use
it (Smile).
