OK.  I'm ready to jump for a Sony 2010.  I haven't been able to find the
file I saved from several months ago that listed one of the best mail
order suppliers for this radio.

Can anyone fill me in?  It seems like there was a place selling the 2010
for around $300.

    During the 1992 ARRL New England Division convention in Boxboro, Mass. (USA)

Much to my surprise, the Yaesu reps knew absolutely NOTHING about the FRG-100,

Silicon Chip magazine had a project a few years ago describing a sub-carrier
adapter. As long as you have a circuit of your tuner fitting should be quite
easy.

My DX-440 appears to have been fried by leaving the external antenna
hooked up while we were gone.  It works OK on MW/LW, but is pretty
dead on shortwave.  The schematic pointed to Q115, and it was replaced
after testing bad with an ohmmeter.  There is still no noticeable
improvement.

Has anybody else had this happen?  Any hints on what else gets killed
along with that FET are appreciated.

Thanks...Jim

The future of Short-wave is:

The exodus of all military, aeronautical, marine
and telegraphic into the microwave zone.
The super-power players of the medium will also
withdraw leaving the domestic spectrums wide open
to become more like the 120m. 90m and 60 meter bands..
Amateur Radio will fill the other increasingly wide
gaps.

I am a youngster to this hobby( listening since 1971 as
a 12 year old ) and it was a lot more interesting then
with an old HALLICRAFTERS and DX150B than it is now with
my DX440 and SONY 2010. 

Maybe I am jaded, but SWBC has become quite dull
now that the cold-war is over. DXing in the seventies
was it! And those days are GONE. :-(

In the 90's , my gear has been used largely to
set my watch from WWV or CHU  and scan the tropical
bands, the last domain of real DX.

The Lowe's synchro unit performs very well. It rarely loses lock, and
when it does so producesa low fixed growl rather than a "wandering
growl" like other receivers that go searching for the lost carrier.

The FRG-100, by the way, does not have a synchronous tuner.

The upcoming Lowe HF-250 should be interesting to compare with the
NRD and Drake as they should be equivalent-level products.

I bought the Casio PR-100 portable recently after reviews/suggestions
posted in this newsgroup.  Well,  I am not at all disappointed !
This seems to be a GREAT radio for the price. (39.90)
I think we shortwave fans have finally found a price-beater in the
market.

But as Jeff Caroll mentioned in his earlier posting, the keyboards
are kind of delicate, FM is mono, band selection is through a 
mechanical switch -- other than these minor points, the radio 
functions great !   I am able to pick up all my favorite stations
(BBC, D. Welle, Australia, Netherland) loud and clear.  (I am deep
in the heart of Texas !!)

Does the 1993 Passport have a review of this radio ?

I have some questions about shortwave broadcasting...

What is the feasability of making commercial broadcasts over shortwave in the
USA?  Is it legal?  Are there any commercial stations in the US?  What is the
investment required to establish a station that could be easily heard with a
radius of 100 miles, for example?

Universal Radio sent me one which arrived yesterday (1/4).  They said that
they had an order in for 500 had gotten 100 which they shipped to the folks
who had had them on back order the longest on 12/30.  They opine that they

I got one some time ago.  It hetrodynes SW frequencies down to a range
of 540-1600KHz, so you can use your car radio to listen to SW.  Problem is
that it has no way to reject images, or even which is the signal of
interest, and which is the image.  Example: You want to tune something
at 9690KHz.  You build the kit, and install a 9MHz crystal in the osc
circuit.  Kit hetrodynes the station down to 690KHz, and you tune the
AM radio to 690 to hear the 9690KHz SW station.  Fine so far.  but what
if there is something at 8310KHz?  You will also hear this along with the
desired station at the same time.  And maybe get "birdies" as the two
stations fight it out in your AM radio.  Only solution is to build a 
filter to supress the 8310KHz stuff, in front of the kit.  This is
what a radio's front end does before hetrodyning to an IF freq.
Basically, the AM car radio is acting as a tunable "IF" strip, and
the kit's osc circuit is set to one freq.  Other than this rather
serious image problem, the kit did work.

problem has been looked into and solved.  Ohio State is always very good with
this sort of thing.

Subject:      Kol Israel and IRC's.

        I got the same message about the IRC's.  Since the message came with
the latest schedule, which in turn arrived a month after I had received the
same schedule on this list, their letter went in the same garbage can that
I had tossed the latest edition of BBC Worldwide.  The comparison between these
two stations and the VOA (at least the one employee with an internet address)
and the Christian Science Monitor folks can't be overemphasized.

PS--VOA also has an MCI Mail address listed in WRTH?  Has anybody tried it?

The future of Short-wave is:

The exodus of all military, aeronautical, marine
and telegraphic into the microwave zone.
The super-power players of the medium will also
withdraw leaving the domestic spectrums wide open
to become more like the 120m. 90m and 60 meter bands..
Amateur Radio will fill the other increasingly wide
gaps.

I am a youngster to this hobby( listening since 1971 as
a 12 year old ) and it was a lot more interesting then
with an old HALLICRAFTERS and DX150B than it is now with
my DX440 and SONY 2010.

Maybe I am jaded, but SWBC has become quite dull
now that the cold-war is over. DXing in the seventies
was it! And those days are GONE. :-(

In the 90's , my gear has been used largely to
set my watch from WWV or CHU  and scan the tropical
bands, the last domain of real DX.
