a I have been listening to some transmissions on the 6 and 7 Mhz bands in my car using an oscillator/frequency converter i built some years ago. since i find myself enjoying it again, i would like to know if there are auto receivers (preferably with digital tuning) available in this country. I have been told that there are european recievers (blaupunkt,becker?) like this but have never seen one. Can anyone help? Thanks! Ron Silver ......hou2e!rs173

Well, there is the Blaupunkt Berlin receiver (about $1200), which is a really good AM/FM/SW receiver with tape transport. The radio tuning part is on a stalk that sticks up. I've never seen one but I've heard its pretty awsome. Most car radios in europe have longwave, but SW is less common. I am also looking for a car stereo type installation, and would like shortwave capability, but thats not in demand in the US apparently. I have an MFJ converter, but thats really not very satisfactory (and requires an analog tuned radio to work) -JCP-

Blaupunkt makes a car-stereo/tape-player that also receives the short-wave broadcast bands. I don't know the model number, but I saw one once in a Porshe 928--I think it came as standard equipment (?). Greg, WB6DEO
