Thanks; but Becker's web site doesn't show any unit w/ SW---or did I miss it? -jb
No, you didn't miss anything.
I searched and surfed on the net for a very long time. No becker's
radio with shortwave! Only car radio you can buy with a whortwave
covering almost all band length is a sony xr ca620 or 640. But these
radios doesn't have LW band. their MW step is 9 kHz. No sync detection
or selectable side band at all. So, interference is a real problem
with them (I have a sony xr ca 620). Forget hard dxing but, I can
listen to the major broadcasters like BBC, Netherlands, VOR, VOIRI,
China and VOA comfortably.
If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask, I use
that radio in my car.

Becker receivers have been standard radios installed in Mercedes Benz
over the years. Becker was selling them lately for around $500. Very
high grade of a car radio.
