Howdy,
20 or more years ago I was a shortwave listener, but got out of it, I forget why, I think that my toddlers broke of the antenna right at the hinge of my Sony, but I have slept since then.
About 3 weeks ago, I bought a HomePatrol-1 scanner to give replace my wife's aunt's old dead scanner the next time that we go up to East Texas. Of course I have had to play with it in order to TRY and learn how to operate the thing. One thing for sure, I really, really miss knobs, mostly to ensure that something is really, really off.
It turns out that my wife likes to listen to the scanner, also know to her as "local stuff" as opposed to my shortwave preference.
So, is there any such thing as a receiver that does both (and well) , or am I have to go and buy one for each use?
Thank you,
trav
