N9EWO - Dave's Radio Receiver Page

Welcome to "Dave's Radio Receiver Page". Here is my little spot on this earth to pass along my experiences and or comments about "Radio Receivers", as well as other gizmos that I use in my radio monitoring / recording ventures. My main focus is in the "Shortwave" part of the radio spectrum. A few other radio related items have been thrown in too , including amateur radio equipment reviews and views that may not be directly related.

I have been playing around with radio receivers for over 40 years now, and in this time span my fingers have run across many models, some really good and some really bad. Most comments you read here have been pulled from my own head, but from others as well (as noted). All observations from me are being made with the 2 ear / 2 eye method, so no fancy test equipment here. These of course are my views and your findings may well be different.

Any set being listed on these pages does not mean that I own it or plan on owning.

I'm sorry if any part of this site seems to have a "Soap Box" slant to it , but I tell it like it is with my "hard - hitting" unbiased hands on reports.

"Thank You" for stopping by and enjoy your visit to this web page.....Dave N9EWO

* Donations of old working (or at least easily repairable) "solid state" radio receivers or amateur transceivers of some worth. NO basket cases / floor sweepings / "crusty" dirty disasters or general junk please. A huge plus if it's a SW / HF-receiver / transceiver that I can possibility review here, but this is not a requirement. Contact me in advance before you ship anything to me (a few pictures would be great). So what working radio's do you have just sitting around collecting dust ? Any donated radio would have to be sent postpaid to me (I'm located in the Midwest USA).. No tube / valve type equipment please. New receiver test sample donations are also very much welcomed.

A special thanks to those who have donated test samples. Sorry, I no longer write reviews with test samples on a "loaner" basis. I now require compensation for my time / hard work doing reviews with radios I "normally" care not to actually own / purchase. Dave N9EWO
