Hi All...
Found this site and am passing it along. I can't be responsible if you get "Sensory Overload" upon first pass, but there is so much it will take a while to whittle through the offerings.....   One caveat though... I don't know who updates the links, but some of the pages / links are no longer active.   ...Steve

Equipment / Stacking up the Kenwood R-1000 to ICOM R-70

« on: January 06, 2015, 0126 UTC »

I currently use a R-1000 and FRG-7 as my main radio(s). Thinking of updating. I had a FRG-8800 but never used the memory function, the clock, scanning function, etc. I'm strictly a meat and potatoes listener with no personal need of lots computerized bells and whistles. Looking to upgrade the radios I have and wondered if a used R-70 would fit my need. Any comparisons between the R-1000 and the R70. Any other no frills radio might work, i.e. Lowe? (My real choice would be the NRD 515 but hoo wee, the price!)   Suggestions welcomed.
TIA...
Steve

Hi all:

Found this site through Monitoring Times which has a number of reviews for scanners and shortwave radios. Just click on the radio that's in "BOLD BLUE" for the review. A lot of the radios listed cannot be reviewed, but there's enough to keep you interested.
