I'd like to put a shortwave receiver in my car. Are there any reasonable am/fm/sw units or is it best to use a converter? Has anyone tried putting a portable receiver in a car using the regular antenna? thanks Steve Crandall mhuxt!evans

My folks used to have a Mercedes ('69 220 D) with an AM/FM/SW Becker
signal-seeking radio in it. (It didn't have stereo on the FM, but it
was still a pretty impressive radio.) SW reception was usually just
plain horrible during the day, and fair at night. By the way - the
radio used an external band box in the glove compartment, and received
through the standard antenna.logo (12/14/82)
Drake made a full out HF (high frequency, 15 - 80 meters) transciever for automotive use. Hygain made an antenna that went with it well. Contact Henry Radio in Butler,MO , Anahiem,CA , or Los Angeles,CA for info about current equipment. They will carry it or be able to get it. They do phone and mail orders. david
