Hi guys,
Was wondering if there were any shortwave radio listeners about? I’ve been having fun with a Radio my old man handed over to me. He bought it sometime back in the early 80s. I think it may be Japanese. It’s a “MARC “double conversion”...having a hard time tracking it down on the internet. I’m sure it does not rate against today’s stuff, BUT I love all the controls with the knobs...I can get better overall results compared to my DEGEN 1103 “tiny portable” If anyone knows of it-please let me know...VOA voice of America is strong of late...I also listen to CRI...I am thinking of buying a modern set with outdoor Arial and the like...however would like the option of it being portable and able to run on 12V. This one I have can run of 12V and also has a number of external arieal sockets for the different bandwidths. The frequency on this MARC is amazing...UHF HAM SW et... Anyone recommend a good receiver around $900.00au? Prestige Communications seem to be the cheapest, but not sure about the Tech these days.
Here are some pic’s of it:

Any Scanner enthusiasts about? This is me dragging out the scanner whilst having a cuppa on the trails enjoying my time off work and out of the house.
