Just wondering if folks here are using any small wide band
receivers such as the Yaesu Vr500? I have had one of those for
probably 15 years and get it out occasionally. It covers from
around 150 KHZ up through 1290 or so MHZ and also covers AM, wide
and narrow band FM, upper and lower SSB and CW which is a joke
because it doesn't have any real filtering in it. Anyway, it
isn't as sensitive as I wish it could have been but it's a pretty
cool pocket sized radio and still works fine after all this time.
Just wondering if there are any newer versions or better ones out
there. When I got the Yaesu, I think it cost around $350, so it
was fairly expensive for a pocket receiver. 73, Jim
