mention of
ANY shortwave receivers on their Products page.

Oh well, perhaps at some time they will again re-enter the market.

At least they'll still service the R8's.

Don't hold your breath.

Why would anyone "re-enter" a dying market. Receivers have dropped out of
the market as fast as the broadcasters.

Face facts: HF usage by broadcasters, commerical users, govt, military is
just about over. Someone get a gun and put this horse out of its misery.

Enjoy the bands (HF and MW) while you can, there won't be much left to
listen to in the next decade or so.

What are you smokin? Theres more radios out there than any other time
in history of mankind and with Ebay and the internet the market is
saturated. Drake and others have sold a bazillion of em to everybody,
well the market has slowed. Bi deal! Every major radio co. has quit
building radios at one time or another. And mankind will continue to
use the HF spectrum until long after were dead. Do us a favor and put
yourself out of your own misery.
