G'Day, Thanks for all the comments on the value of having a short wave radio as well as the technical points. I'm wondering what is the simplest way to compare a 909 vs a 505? My recollection is that the Dick Smith sales room at N.Ryde has very poor reception, being in the center of a reinforced concrete building. Maybe the fastest way to test these radios is to try tuning in a weak station in their premises without the wire aerial. What do you think? Would that be a fair trial? I don't know how valid it would be to compare sensitivity and selectivity specifications? Small certainly would be beautiful if all else was equal. All the best, PeterO *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
