I can’t remember if it was you I talked to about radios a couple years ago or not. I have an old GE radio that predates the GE superradio...an AM only version made in the late fifties. GE’s very first transistor radio I think. I believe it is considered the best AM only portable radio ever made.

Well, I finally got around to getting a newer radio. A grundig G6. It was a christmas present. Now I got a bug and want something bigger and better. Sangean perhaps? What should I get?

I do like the idea of a radio card or box of somekind that is controlled by a PC though.

First consider a good external antenna http://www.grove-ent.com/ANT8.html

Next consider a digital receiver from RF Space http://www.rfspace.com/Home.html

My black box is a ten tec rx320d and I would recommend it but I cant find the Clifton Turner software that I use with mine on the net for download.

The ten tec software is pretty rudimentary and the DXtra software was a let down IMHO.

The radio itself works great.
