@RedneckMikeSr - Totally awesome radio,it is so beautiful. I have a Grundig S350 radio. I use a Sangean ANT- 60 roll up antenna and 5 to 6 feet of 18 gauge speaker wire to help with reception. It works nicely. I like your speaker set up too. Great video too. Your helicopter sounds freaked me out. I listen to Youtube with my headphones plugged into my laptop. I thought a helicopter was landing on my apartment building. Totally funny.
2.29 what the fuck is he saying lol funny shit.Im going to be selling my galaxy dx 2527 soon it has problems but radio still works.Im going to sell that an get buy a shortwave radio.The one you have in youre video here is awome an im looking at one rite now an thinking about buying it, thank god for ebay.
agc is automatic gain control leave it on fast bfo is for sideband voice adjustment glad to see you got a reciever now study for your ham ticket once you get it you will leave 11meters behind you scott kg4yhr
hey mike i just won a bid on ebay the dx 160 short wave radio i was just wondering what you paid for yours??? if i may ask thanks man.. bulldogjr in kentucky
LOL!!! Hey Mike, a HAM radio? I see the external will make the best fish scaler yet....What's the radio part for, your boat anchor? I thought you didn't like HAM radios?
mike u could always try your cb antenna on it it should work good put the connector of the cb antenna on the antenna of the radio u could use a twist tie or alumuninm foil to hold them together.
Mike,you can try to use your CB antenna or if you have a beam will work very well It will a antenna switch to change from your shortwave or CB radio..A wire dipole about 10.5 feet on each leg, one for the center and the other for the ground. Good luck.
get yourself a longwire, as long and high as possible. tune till you hear what youre chasing and use that ant trim to peak signal. bfo pitch is for adjusting ssb tone.
good fun the old sw radios, used to have a dx302 here. have a good one mate.
shortwave = ham radio. You'll hear lots of foreign broadcast mixed in with the amateur radio frequencies. Most of them are in the 40 meter band which is 7mhz range. Because of how the signals are, you'll hear most of the broadcast stations during the day. For an antenna, if you have the room, get yourself a MFJ-1778 G5RV antenna, they run about 45 bucks, you can even use it to transmit on if you ever got your license.
That looks like a nice shortwave. Basically all you need to do is string a wire from the radio kind of like a clothsline (the longer the better) make sure the end of the wire where you hang it isint bear so it dont touch what you hang it on. you might be able to find one at radioshack. You dont absolutly need it. One of the few cool things about shortwaves is "numberstations"aka spy stations. You hear them now and then. Youtube numberstations, youll get an idea on freaquencys and times. Later

Hi Mike.
Google SWDXER.
That will help you out with pretty well all of your SW questions.
