Most ham transceivers made since the 80's have general coverage receivers from the kHz region through 30 MHz. Some of the newer ones go up into the VHF region as well. Most have receive-only capabilities outside the ham bands, which CAN be defeated by removing diodes or adding jumpers somewhere. If you're not planning on transmitting, don't do those mods. My TS-850 is not the newest radio but is known for its outstanding audio quality. It still surpasses most other, even newer, equipment in this regard. It has filters in it to attenuate the AM broadcast band; these were installed to get around the problem of overload if you live near an AM station. There is a mod to bypass/remove that attenuation. It makes an excellent AM broadcast band DXing radio if you do that mod. I haven't had any overload problems and I live 5 miles from an AM station. 73, Zack On Mon, Oct 7, 2013 at 1:26 PM, Ted Van Beurden <[email protected]>wrote: > Visit http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/spooks to unsubscribe from > this list > > Wouldn't be any point.
