We all know Honkus does not have a radio but who else does not and what are they going to get if they get one? It would be difficult indeed to find a household that didn't have at least one radio. If you are talking about shortwave radios a question with potentially more interesting answers might be: How many shortwave radios do you own and which ones do you use most frequently. Sat800 on 90meter off center feed antenna. Used almost daily. National NC-125 recently retubed, recapped and realined. shares 90 meter antenna. Used a couple of times a week. A friend of 30 years standing. YB400PE on 80 meter dipole Used a couple of times a week. Just got it two weeks ago. Wells-Gardiner BC-348Q recently retubed and tweeked, was on the 80 meter dipole, now waiting for a G5RV to be raised after the leaves fall. Used almost daily until I got the YB400PE. National NC-183. Shelf queen, I've got the the audio section recapped and working well, but have still un-diagnosed problems in the AVC section. I have a NC-183R rack mount version that needs a complete restoration after someone did a nasty re-cap job with bundles of caps taped together and hanging off the chassis with wads of wire. I am waiting till I get a better digital camera to take lots of closeup photos so that anyone who wants to restore one can have a complete set of photos to follow. http://home.earthlink.net/~mike.terrell/Projects.html has some of my restoration projects listed. As they begin to show signs of progress they will each have a page of photos to show the before and after, and some will have the test results ahter a full alignment. Viking Ranger. Shelf queen. Worked last time I fired it up...15 years ago. Will bring it up slow on a variac after the G5RV is up. KWM-2 Shelf queen. Needs serious diagnostics; will have to wait until after I retire. -- Link to my "Computers for disabled Veterans" project website deleted after threats were telephoned to my church. What does your church have to do with your computers for veterans project? You keep telling us about this as if there might be something we can do. Just curious. dxAce Michigan USA |

Is something in your surroundings spoiling reception? Do you hear more on it if you take it outside? Does the reel antenna help? |

no problem. tried it again today. with much better results.
used fresh batteries instead of rechargeables. attached wire antenna to the telescopic antenna. Using ATT and letting the radio do searching for me. So it was a problem with the user not the equipment. wrote in message ups.com... asdf wrote: i jsut got my own yesterday.

They'd be the first source of any data that was to be available. |

I did not really care for it. I'm sure I will add others. I'm thinking a sp-600 next. I've been tempted to buy a beat up R-390 for a restoration project. That gear train is just amazing to me. That alone makes one worth having. Thay are getting rather pricey though. |
