One possibility would be you could get a Sony ICF-SW7600GR brand new from Amazon for $133 shipped. It can tune in 1 kHz steps & has selectable LSB/USB with fine tuning. Also, you could get a Q-stick + from dxtools.com for about $52 + actual shipping & 10% discount for dues paying members of many radio clubs.
In my case, I got a Sony ICF-SW7600G used on eBay for about $77 shipped. Using the Q-stick + with it, I managed to get about 400 beacons in 1 year. Uses AA batteries. fairly small & lightweight. 73, George S., MN ________________________________ From: Bob Young <bobyoun...@hotmail.com> To: NRC list <a...@nrcdxas.org> Cc: IRCA <irca@hard-core-dx.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2013 3:16 PM Subject: [IRCA] good portable receiver I'm actually thinking more of a SS communications receiver now, I was only worried about what would fit in a suitcase and never even thought of regular receivers, anyone here familiar with an ICOM IC-70 general coverage receiver? I think I can probably pick one up for about 200-300 bucks and they get very good reviews on ham.net. even for MW reception. Are Kiwi filters still available for something like this? If not this receiver can anyone here recommend a good older receiver like this which also won't break the bank?
