Above 30 MHz
 

Can anyone tell me whether SW receivers like ICF-7600GR or ICF-2010
catch the world above 30 Mhz. As per http://www.dxing.com/above30.htm
there are whole lot of exciting stuff there.

I will be thankful if you advise whether one could get them on the
above class of recievers.

Keep in mind that the higher you get, the less likely long distance
reception becomes. Also, the specific usage may vary from country to
country.

Both of them are capable of receiving the FM broadcast band from 76 to
108 MHz (to cover both the Japanese and Western FM bands, still omitting
the IIRC 66 to 72 MHz OIRT band) with a bandwidth suited for wideband FM
and nothing else, and the 2010 covers the air band (108 to 136 MHz) in
AM. If you're seriously interested in the world beyond 30 MHz, the best
idea would be investing into a decent scanner along with a discone or
whatnot. Getting good performance both below and above 30 MHz in the
same receiver will cost you a pretty penny - AR5000 and IC-R8500 would
be the least expensive receivers matching this discription (though the
AOR still is not better than a decent shortwave portable in terms of
strong signal handling and such on SW, while the Icom does better there
but isn't quite as good on the higher freqs as I remember), with more
expensive (and better) gear like the mighty IC-R9000L (now discontinued)
and the R&S EB200 (approx. 20000 USD) available.

true. However, occasionally I hear dx from Detroit and Canada on VHF
and UHF when listening to my handheld scanner from here in norheast
Ohio.
