Reno SWL's Please Help
I'm an SWL in Reno, Nv and I can't seem to find anywhere other than
Radio Shack to purchase a good shortwave reciever. 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. |

There is no place in Reno that I know of that sells higher end shortwave (I
lived there a while ago). There used to be a place on Mill St. just east of 395 but that is closed down I believe. Circuit City may carry the Eton. You may have to research on the internet and find a good on-line store to purchase from, like Universal or Grove Enterprises. "Teenagedeathboy" wrote in message oups.com...

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. |

Even if he had to go to the HRO in Sunnyvale (Silicon Valley) he'd still be a couple hundred miles closer to Reno than if he went to Vegas. I wouldn't recommend driving to the Bay Area in winter weather from Reno, especially going over the mountains. It's been snowing for a week straight up there. It would probably be easier to use ebay. |

Hello
Whatever you want to buy , first try to listen to the the radio you want to buy alongside the one you know. Every radio i bought I first tried it out for several hours. Is it logical to handle ? do you like the sound ? and so on. The looks you can get used to but the sound en feel is more difficult to get used to. I hope this helps a bit Gretings Han the netherlands You can also visit my website: http://home.wanadoo.nl/hanhardonk/indexengels.html |
