Why not a second hand good quality radio receiver for SWL ?

 Now the famous brands of short wave radio receivers like ICOM, YAESU, KENWOOD, and many others no longer manufacture only SW receivers. You can buy a tranceiver but price minimum is around 1300 US $. On many web site like EBAY it is possible to find second hand serious radio receiver pour a good price. Beware of sellers who are not reliable, and it is difficult to find used parts to repair your radio receiver. In some parts of the world it is also difficult to find a technician capable of repairing this type of radio receiver.


Yes this is a SWL !!!


They are a lot of radio receivers who was made in the past.

Look this catalogue in PDF with the most famous radio receivers

Remember can can aslo use a tranceiver as a receiver but this depend of your countrie.

Like this ICOM 725  https://www.universal-radio.com/used/sold417.html who was sale for only 370 US$

I think ICOM, YAESU, KENWOOD, LOWE and JRC are good choice if you have the money, dont take too old radio receiver because parts can be rares. Maybe from the 80's, 90's are ok ?

My dream !





Some of my RX in the 90's

RX Kenwood R5000, TX Icom 725

Since 1980 i use many TX and RX ( i think around 50 !!! )





My good friend Bernard have a big and nice collection of TX and RX






They are many web sites in the world for second hand shop.

In France we have few



For the world
