Re: What is a good shortwave radio to use with HP 8568B SA?
Pretty much any shortwave radio that tunes 21.4 MHz and the modes you want should work. Sensitivity is not an issue as the IF output on the rear is a high level (you'd likely need an attenuator).

Try one of the emergency radios with AM-FM-SSB.
Or, a $20. RTL-SDR USB dongle on your computer with a Ham-it-Up
HF converter between it and your HP 20mHz output.
