Hi Group, It's been quite a few years since I've done any utility monitoring and looking for some tips on what to look for in a receiver in today's world. I'm a ham so looking to get an HF radio that will serve double duty as a general coverage receiver.
Years ago I had an Yaesu FT-757GXII and seemed do pretty good at picking out tough stations with notch & shift filtering, was into WEFAX, RTTY with my Universal M-400 Decoder, dating myself with that one eh? Still have that M-400 sitting in the closet.
Interested in anything I can listen to except Shortwave broadcasting I've got an Ameco SW pre-selector/amp and a 40ft longwire outside, the only thing missing is the radio at this point. Any suggestions and share experiences would be great, not even sure about what the Utility landscape holds anymore, thanks!
