Hi all
I have been scanning for a few years, but only recently thought of getting into HF.
My scanner now does civ air but not mil air (not a whole lot around me to warrant it).
However, canadian and american air force/coast guard/navy use HF quite a bit on long trips and communicating back and forth on some exercises.
I am been reading up on USB/LSB/CW, and SSB.
Is SSB pretty important for listening to military HF?
The grundigs are popular but seem to not be that good.
Any $80-$150 good HF radios to start with that will do what I need?
I checked a few sites but their either just say x khz to 30mhz or "several main bands of HF"
I want to make sure I get the mil bands in between the amateur ones?
Thanks!
