My uncle was going thru his "junk" a while ago, and he gave me a JRC-525 receiver... Now, I know nothing about shortwave... Neither did my uncle, apparently it was given to him by a friend 15 years ago who left the country.
The receiver appears in good shape, powers on, buttons/dials work.. But i don't know what kind of antenna it requires, and is there even anything useful to listen to in the Toronto, Canada area...
Can it use an indoor antenna, somewhat similar to a desktop scanner? Would be neat if it was able to pick up regular AM/FM radio stations but i looked up a spec sheet and it doesnt seem like it goes that high in frequency... Maybe I'm wrong...
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
PS if this isn't the right forum, I apologize.
