Hi Gang, I'm thinking of buying a short wave receiver like a Grundig or something, and have been looking at them on the web. What I have in mind is a very small, pocket sized rig, 2 AA cells for power...
Now, I have found a couple of models, but they don't have a BFO for CW, and don't do SSB either, AM only. Now, I'd like to find one that does it all from 100 KHz to 30 MHz...any suggestions... Been working on the R-390A. The First Mixer died (6C4), so decided to go through the entire rig this weekend and replace all of the known problem components. Turned out great! Anyway, I really enjoyed listening to the BBC World Service among other stations while I was letting the rig burn in today. I had forgotten how much I used to like to listen to SW Stations...Plus, you get a different perspective on World events and such, so that's why I'm looking for a portable. Would be nice to have all the modes though...Might be Pie in the Sky, but maybe not...Seems like a good idea for an Elecraft product! A portable general coverage (100KHz-30MHz) receiver with R-390A performance in your pocket ;-) Come on Wayne... 73 Trev - K6ESE _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
