another year to ship those out.

Wrong as usual. The latest one is just now being shown at the CES Show.

I listen only to short wave radio. It has a true "old time" radio effect,
especially during solar flares and spy rays can't go over the short wave.

Amen!

Suzanne just bought me the Sirius Replay radio for the car and boat!!!
For those of you who have yet to try Satellite radio, you'll never
listen to regular radio again. XM is also excellent.

Good Grief.... I've had Sirius Radio aboard for a while now.

What Back Water 3rd World Country do you live in???

BTW - I still listen to regular radio as well.

What kind of SW radio? I bought a cheap S350 Grundig, not bad but kind
of limited and drifty until temps are leveled out. I'd like to buy a
cheap SW radio for the boat.

Sirius has channels for real old time radio shows, everything from War
of the Worlds to Lights Out.

Mama always said, cheap is as cheap does.

Collins R-390 for home use.

Kenwood TS-140S for portable, plus it transmits. Good for marine use.

Icom R-1 for wideband portable.

Tektronix 2712 for wideband surviellance.

HP 8565 and 8555 for slightly higher frequency coverage.

For antennas I use magnetic loops, dipoles, log periodics, discones and
yagis.

Those portable little Grundigs lack input and IF filtering. I could run my
TS-140S right next to a livestock fence shocking system and completely
filter out the 10 kV impulses. The DAC shortwave I had (a cheapo) was wiped
out.

The TS-140S would be ideal for you. It's 100 watts SSB transmit.

The Icom R-1 is physically too small and has bands where the reception is
very poor. There's a few birdies in the thing also. The battery is small
also. The R-390 doubles as a great anchor.

Amen!

But they don't have guys in thick foriegn accents denouncing the United
States.

Plus it's free!

It is interesting to hear news from around the world. What one gets from the
US media is very narrow in scope, plus some events are completely ignored.

Amen!
