THE BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO SHORTWAVE LISTENING Bob Grove, Publisher, Monitoring Times
The
Ideal for wide-frequency-coverage receivers: 30 kHz-2 GHz reception.
Bob's Pick... Looking for a simple, high-performance, shortwave antenna? Hang this wire from a tree for continuous 10 kHz-50 MHz reception, and even local scanner signals.
Pocket Shortwave Antenna for Wideband Handheld Receivers.Remarkably improved shortwave/longwave reception over the factory whip.
Compact Active Antenna receives signals from 10 kHz through 50 MHz.
Frequency coverage: 10 kHz-60 MHz. LF Engineering has appointed Grove to be the exclusive distributor of the enhanced-performance, H-900 Gain Probe active antenna, with additional gain for weak signal reception, and increased dynamic range to withstand strong-signal overload and avoid desensitization from close-by transmitting antennas!
The MFJ-1020C has been completely redesigned with new technology. Using a dual gate MOSFET and a gigahertz bandwidth buffer it improves gain and selectivity, reduces noise and intermod, and is not prone to self-oscillations that can severely damage your receiver. Coverage 0.3-30MHz including VLF, AM broadcast, all shortwave and amateur radio bands.
Bob's Pick... PAR SW antenna: This is the best shortwave antenna we've ever carried -- our clients love it! The PAR End Fedz 45-foot, commercial-quality, end-fed receiving 1-55 MHz antenna is made of virtually-indestructible Flex Weave, covered by a protective black polyethylene jacket.
Often referred to as Long Wire Balun, this device is used to match the impedance of a long wire HF antenna to a 50 ohm input impedance of a receiver. Such impedance matching usually results in a significant signal strength increase (up to 17dB in some cases, and approximately 5dB on average), compared to the long wire antenna connected directly to the antenna input of the receiver. Frequency coverage 0.1 to 30 MHz
