Good advice Bob. Also, be sure that the analog radio can receive time signals on more than one or two bands. Some of the bandwidths on the inexpensive radios are terribly narrow. C. --- Marilyn Smith <bob-marilyn@worldnet.att.net> wrote:
Some time ago, the topic of short-wave radios for timing purposes came thru this group. I just received the new REI sale catalog, which includes two styles. For $30, they have a shirt-pocket sized radio with analog tuning. For $99, they have a digital tuner with solar and hand-cranked power. Be sure to check the reception quality of any short-wave radio, particularly with analog tuning. From my limited experience, a digital tuner is a big plus.
