SW Rcv on the 817
|
Larry, the rx is adequate on the modes you are interested in....no
competition to an R390 but good for on the go SWLing. It is a bit better than my Sangean 818. I have had the rig for 3 weeks and love it. The most fun was tuning the rig up on 6 using the ZM2 and a random wire and working all over the US on an opening. It is an engineering marvel, not the best for any one thing but brings so much to the shack in one package.

I know how well this radio transmits, but how is it as a sw(hf
milcom, broadcast band) receiver? I am going to be selling some ham trxcvrs and wide band rcvrs at a hamfest tomorrow, and will be looking to maybe purchase a 817. I enjoy QRP and would like a multi- use radio to take on the go. The fact the 6, 2, and 440 ssb is thrown in is just a plus. Any replies will be greatly appreciated. TIA, Larry Tews, N8IAA |

I've used it for casual listening, mostly on 19m, and have found it
acceptable. I should comment that this has been mostly while mobile, on occasions when I couldn't stir up a QSO on 20m or 17m. Despite listening in AM mode, which seems to be much more susceptable to ignition noise than SSB, I have not had any trouble with QRN. The audio quality and volume have been adequate for listening to both news and music. I haven't had a chance to listen to any utes, except for the local airport control tower on VHF AM. 73 de Bill, KR8L/7 --- In FT817@y..., "Larry" <txrngr19@y...> wrote: I know how well this radio transmits, but how is it as a sw(hfthrown in is just a plus.
