Default Re: Codar CR70A Comms receiver.

Is it any good?

Well, that depends. They were very good as a beginner's first shortwave receiver. There were cheaper and simpler things around... Paul mentioned the H.A.C. but they had major shortcomings compared to the CR70.

If you've bought it to use it, you'll soon run into its limitations and start yearning for something better in several respects. As you're acclimated the the SX28A this point may arrive fairly quickly.

But for sixteen quid, you've not had to mortgage the house and you can probably sell it foe what you paid and might even get lucky!

So it's costing you nothing for some entertainment and exploration. RA17 next?
