Hello all.

I've been using scanners for years and now I want to check-out
shortwave.

I've been looking at the Satellit 800 and the Icom R-75. What other
ones should I be considering? I have about $500 or so to spend.

Thanks for any help!

You might want to get a copy of "Passport of Worldband Radio",
which is sort of the TV Guide for shortwave. Not only will
it tell you what's on, when, but there's a section in there
comparing most of the shortwave radios on the market and
pointing out their strengths and weaknesses.

It should help you decide which radio is best for you.

I believe the new "Passport" used to come about this time of year. Does
anyone know when the new one arrives?
