Looking to upgrade from a Panasonic RF-3100. Just got off of an

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?




I do, and alwasys have. Shortwave listening to me has a lot to do with the
cultures of other lands. Music is an excellent reflection of any Nation's
culture. I couldn't imagine SWL-ing if I didn't stop the tuning dial on
music from other places.

All I can get is Chinese banjo music. RNZI used to play good stuff,
but then their hamster died.

Music is a Cultural Language.The best way to listen to that Music from
other Countries is via Shortwave (Terrestial) Radio.

You sound like a real dumbass to me. I'm not interested in your silliness.
Goodbye to you.
