Have been enjoying limited DX on AM, and CB for a long time..
Moving on to shortwave.
Please be easy on me, I have typical newbie questions and would sincerely appreciate honest and kind answers.
I have decided on a Alinco DX-R8T. I cant afford crazy expensive, yet I don't want to have to upgrade anytime soon. Reasonable choice?
1. Is a simple Pyramid PS-3 KX regulated power supply adequate to power this machine? Any dramatic advantages to a more complex power supply?
2. Antennas are a bit confusing. I would like to start with something that I just setup and use without the learning curve of complex antennas. I do not yet understand antenna tuning?
Can something like :MFJ G5RV Multi-Band Antenna MFJ-1778 work? (link below)
What fairly user friendly antenna would be recommended with the Alinco DX-R8T?
What else might I need?
