I just received my "Super" Sangean 909 and it is great. My only
problem is that I live on a hill with the top being occupied with a
few local AM band transmitter antennas. They clobber the LW band but
beyond that all is well. I have been exploring the SW bands since I
was a wee lad and this radio with the RadioLabs mods is great. I
started out way back when on an old radio that my folks gave me, wish
I still had it. A Zenith Transoceanic. So much fun to hear the
world. Many more radios in between. Now I hear the world even
better. I would recommend to anyone who is contemplating an upper
range mid-priced receiver to give serious thought to this one. I
have not yet even hooked up an external antenna and have plenty of
contacts to explore and try to identify. Wife thinks I am nuts
listening to faint, scratchy signals, but that is okay, I just smile
and tweak the tuning dial a bit more.

Okay, question time. Has anyone here installed "Shotwave Log" and if
so how did it go, specifically on a Win XP machine?

Since buying an unmodified Sangean 909 I've heard (and learned
firsthand) that it has poor SW sensitivity. Does the "Super" treatment
make a difference in that? Sounds like it maybe creates a concomitant
increase in overloading problems in a strong-signal environment.


Poor SW sensitivity in general or just poor off of the whip ??? I thought
that it was a good performer when used with an external.
