Hello.


New to the newsgroup.


Just wondering . . . . What would be considered a decent desktop model for
a shortwave receiver? I am looking for something under $300 that I can
place on the desketop, to plug headphones into, that will be a decent
starting unit. Any suggestions?


Thanks,


Rob


You can purchase a computer controlled TEN TEC 320D for about $349 on
the Universal Radio website. I find it very good for DX as well as the
computer simplifies remembering all the frequencies and stations plus
the times they are on. There are also several good free ware programs to
control the unit above the Ten Tec offering.


Agreed. The RX320D is an incredible value for $350.
