been gnawing at me was the use of an HF transceiver for shortwaver
reception. There is routinely a large inventory of used HF receivers
available about my area; mostly HF nets/clubs and the like. Actual
HF/shortwave/comm's receivers are hard to come by here.

Are any of these used receivers notable in performance/feature set for
shortwave reception?

thanks

AFAIK, There are no HF transceivers with a sync' detector. I would
consider this to be a serious shortcoming for AM program listening.

I used to have an RF-3100. I was a fun receiver. It uses a
'semi-synthesizer' design similar to the FRG-7, DX-300/302 and XCR-30.
The latter was the first consumer receiver to use this design.


The SSB mode works fine for AM voice listening. Who listens to music
on shortwave any more?


The folks who still have balls and don't bother with that pansy ass satellite
stuff?
