Might be more than you want to spend, but I've been very impressed with
the FM section of my DX440/803A. Only one speaker built in, but if you
really wanted stereo you could plug an external speaker into the headphone
jack.

The audio performance of the shortwave section is disappointing, and there
seem to be a few of these sets looking for new homes around here, so maybe
you could cut yourself a deal.

This is two years in a row with some kind of error.  This is more
serious than last year's ISBN number goof, too.  Maybe Andy and
Billboard might want to consider moving the production process back
to Europe, or moving the editorial offices to the U.S., so that
editorial can keep a closer eye on the production and printing
process.  I'm sure that when Andy and Bart come to Philadelphia to
finish the book, things are awfully hectic, and they can't stay long
enough to supervise the entire procedure.  Kind of makes me wonder
if they ever get to look at blue lines for the book, which would
have allowed them to catch something like this before they went to
press.

  Well, I had fun on Sat. night.  I had ordered the Kiwa filter set for
the Sony 2010 while they were on sale in December and I put them in on
Sat.

  I really like the 2010 but the heterodyne whistles were driving me crazy.
The Kiwa wide filter has gotten rid of them - Hooray!  Unfortunately, the
necessary narrowing of the bandwidth (which is what the filter is about, after
all) also decreased the perceived audio quality.  Likely, I'll get used to
it, but a thought occurred to me - I might remove the Kiwa narrow filter,
re-install the Kiwa wide filter as the narrow filter, and re-install the
stock wide filter as the wide filter.

  Has anybody tried this?

  BTW, if anyone is thinking of getting the Kiwa filters, the installation
is fairly straight-forward; the supplied instructions are excellent.  
However, it is definitely not a job for someone who has never used a
soldering iron before.

Never mind.  I see the answer now.  A digitally tuned car stereo can
only tune in discrete steps (e.g.  9Khz for MW in North America) and has
no fine-tuning capability; such a beast does not have the granularity
needed to tune in to SW broadcasts.  The problem is not in the display
mechanism but in discrete tuning vs continuous tuning.

I'm not sure about the comparison, but I like this little radio. It has great 
reception with enough bells and whistles to suit me (FM [88kHz-108kHz], SSB, 
fine tuning, scanning, 20 channel memory [10 for AM and 10 for FM], sleep,
alarm).
I recently puchased this radio from a mail order place for $179 and have more
recently seen it for $169.

The only problem with some digital radios is that they tune in 10KHz 
steps, while you often fins SW stations are at 5KHz intervals. It's no 
big problem, just use two crystals in the converter - one 5KHz away from 
the other, and switch from one to the other to cover the entire range of 
frequencies you're interested in.

Nope -- the earlier address in Washington is the current

Mine came yesterday (Jan 5.) I waited to call in my order until December
28th just so the lag time between charging and shipping would not be
that long... I think this year they were letting the pre-pub orders go
on later than in preceeding years, but the only place I recall seeing
the announcement that the pre-pub price was good to 12/31/92 was in the
Grove catalog, in a footnote to the WRTH listing in there... I don't
think the Monitoring Times ad mentioned this.

   There have been several posts asking for information about Radio
Luxembourg, the English Service of RTL, which broadcast on shortwave and
the Astra satellite, plus mediumwave for its closing night.

   I can CATEGORICALLY state that this station is CLOSED. I know because
I listened to it close at midnight GMT on Wednesday 30/12/92. There are
NO English Service personnel left at RTL- to quote from the station
manager, "Sorry about the QSLs... as of tomorrow there are NO STAFF."

   RTL's only remaining English language outlet is Atlantic 252, a joint

station has no plans for closure.

The person whom I gave the unit to stated that it was less sensitive

Some susceptibility to powerful CB rigs (Linears?) was noticed.

Single selectivity.

Variable BFO via thumbknob allows SSB to be tuned, but, like WRTV
handbook states, there is no reference point on the pot to reset
the BFO.

No dial lamp, but power on LED... seems that putting a dial light
in behind the LCD display and a mechanical florescent flag indicator

Hi there,

I am yet another beginner, I would appreciate information on the
least expensive receivers able to pickup Middle East shortwave stations.
I am in the Chicago land area and have an old Sony ICF-7600AW but it

Any recommendation! Thanks in advance.
