I live in PEI Canada. I am surprised at how poor the SW reception is
here on my YB400. A couple of friends yhave had similiar experiences
with theirs, but then a shortwave hobbyist I know here says that he
has to use outdoor aerials with his fancier gear, so presumably it's
just our location?

I like the YB400's compact size. It is easy to tune and store
frequencies. I have extremely limited SW experience, by the way. If
I was going offshore I would definitely want a more substantial SW/SSB
system.

Anyone know if these little shortwaves are any good? Need to pick one up as a

something "not to worry about" on board.

Thanks,
