I also enjoy Shortwave and Scanner DX'ing. My equipment includes a Kenwood R5000 communications receiver hooked up to a MFJ 959B antenna tuner/preamplifier and a simple 40 foot longwire antenna. I had intended to construct a better antenna eventually but I found that the longwire picks up surprisingly good. I also have two scanners, a Pro 2035 and a Pro 2022 hooked up to a multiband antenna mounted on the roof of my house. These two receive very well with the outside antenna. I sometimes receive from 100's of miles away when the weather is good. I just recently purchased my wife a new computer and I plan to use her old computer to dedicate to using with my R5000 communications receiver. A few programs I am going to be using are: TRUETTY, CWGET,SeaTTY, Smart Kenwood Control 32 as well as some spectrum analyzers, etc. While you're here, check out my friend Tom's page. He is into this stuff deeper than me (is that good or bad??). Anyway, here are the receivers and some specs.... |
