I've had a Grundig YB400 for a couple of years now and I want to expand on my listening post. Circuit City and other consumer electronics stores sell mini-portables and such but those are not what I am looking for. A porta-top or tabletop model like a Sattilite 800 or the new Eton E1 would be nice.... does anyone know where I can get these in Reno? Thanks. Unfortunately, you'll have to rely on ebay to get a SW radio these days. The last ham radio store in Sacramento, a much bigger city, closed years ago. The Ham Radio Outlet stores in the SF and LA areas now serve the entire western US. Besides, buying a radio direct from China saves you a ton of money. Look for liypn's V-COM-COLLECTIONS ebay store, you can find Degens and Tecsuns there. Best is a tie between the Degen 1102 and the 1103, it's really a matter of personal preference since they perform about the same. If you truly want a tabletop, you can get used Icoms on ebay for a few hundred bucks. Drakes get bid up too high. There are very few tabletops being made new, and those that are cost $1500 or more. If you want a tabletop, your best bet is to look for Icoms on ebay, search for "Icom receiver". Some of the entries will show the radio on a red velvet background, those are listings from Martyn who calls himself radio-mart who is a fraudulent seller. Avoid radio-mart at all costs. **** China. |
