Radios
 Shortwave-World Band
Listen to: News—Sports—Commentary—Music
Hear the news being reported (in English or another language)
from countries all around the world. There is a lot going on in the world and
you need to know how you may be affected. Learn about other people’s customs and
politics. Travel without leaving home. Some popular USA stations include
WBCQ, WRNO, WWCR, WHRI, KNLS, etc.
Hear warnings, distress calls - Coordinate aid.
Tune in interesting talk shows. Hear important local news
which should be reported nationally but isn’t. Hear vital information during a
disaster.
Hear truths the regular media suppresses. There are many good programs on the environment, religion,
music, government, money, science, patriotism, education, new
inventions/discoveries. Tune to 5.000, 7.335, 10.000 or 15.000 MHZ for the
accurate time.
You may find yourself liking radio better than TV! Improve reception with long wire antenna. Shortwave radio
signals bounce off the upper atmosphere (ionosphere). Signal may fade in and
out. Some stations are easier to pickup during the evening and night, some are
better during daytime. A length of wire can be clipped to the antenna to greatly
improve reception.
Good Gift Idea Shortwave radio listening is a great hobby. Not only is it fun and practical,
it is low cost, very interesting with lots of variety. Everyone should have at
least one.

Select-A-Tenna
Antenna Booster for AM Radio (not shortwave)
Simple to use - Portable - Made in USA, Will not help radios in a vehicle. |
Select-A-Tenna is the best AM signal enhancer made for radios, even
expensive radios.
Simply place Select-A-Tenna near your portable or clock radio to inductively
couple the unit to your radio. Tune in the radio station and then turn the knob
on Select-A-Tenna until you hear the station volume increase. AM radio talk
shows are very popular, but reception distance can be limited. The daytime range
can be doubled with Select-A-Tenna. Adjacent station rejection is also improved.
This helps when station signals are too strong.
No AC or DC power required on regular or M models. A +30 dB gain is typical. 535 to
1700 KHz frequency range. 10-3/4” x 2-1/4”.

Model M
has the same features and
specifications but with a jack for connecting to external long wire antenna and ground wire.
This model is useful for conducting signals inside all-metal buildings,
basements, campers or trailer houses. The
jack also allows the unit to be directly connected to a radio's antenna and
ground terminals when the radio has no internal ferrite rod antenna.
10-3/4” x 2-1/4”.
A421
Model M 4 lbs
$70
Special $55 |
 |
Super Model is more powerful with a +40dB gain
(10 dB more than the other models). This model also works better on radios with poor
inductive coupling (such as the very popular model pictured) or for large case
radios. It has an internal regenerative amplifier with variable 0 to +10 dB
gain control knob. Requires a 9V battery (not
included). Has Coarse and Fine
Tuning controls for ease of operation at the higher gain settings. Includes a
small remote ferrite probe to place near radio when there's not enough room for
the Select-A-Tenna. 10-3/4” x 2-1/4”.
A422
Model S 5 lbs
$ 190 Special $179
The Model S may be used in any of four
different modes:
(1) Direct Near Proximity just like the regular and model M.
(2) Ferrite Probe Near Proximity.
(3) Direct Wired Antenna Connection.
(4) External Antenna and Ground for metal-buildings when using modes 1 and 2. |
 |
| The Model S has a
high-signal level and low-impedance balanced drive port for the ferrite probe.
This provides the capability to not only drive the 6 ft. coaxial cable and
probe, which are included, but the cable may be extended to as much as 26 ft
using extension cables readily available locally. This is very useful for
remotely locating the Model S away from radio noise sources or into better signal
locations, when moving the radio itself may be inconvenient. |
