[8] Where online can I get more information on mobile SW radios?
Google's archives of rec.radio.shortwave can get you started:
http://groups.google.com/groups?q=rec.radio.shortwave
So can these websites for radios with shortwave coverage:
Car Radios: (to mount on-, under- or in-dash)
<www.eham.net/reviews/detail/6883>
<www.universal-radio.com/catalog/hamhf/0817.html>
<www.universal-radio.com/catalog/hamhf/0703.html>
www.anarc.org/naswa/issues/0597/equip0597.html
www.motobras.com.br/Automotivos_esp.htm
www.angelfire.com/ia/lfb/
Palm-sized, Belt-clippable Radios: (esp. recommended for bikers)
<www.universal-radio.com/catalog/widerxvr/0500.html>
www.universal-radio.com/catalog/widerxvr/1005.html
Boom-boxes: (mobile noise pollution generators)
<www.radiomuseum.org/r/grundig_satellit_2400.html> (4 x 2 W)
www.yousifi.com.kw/cd-radio-cassette.php (RX-CT650)
www.motobras.com.br/Gravador_esp.htm (2x1.2 W)
The websites in brackets are for radios that can tune in emergency
transmissions in SSB-mode. However, they cost at least twice as much
as the others listed (esp. for the car radio category where you must
buy a transceiver in order to get SSB-demodulation capability) and
tend to hold their values well on the used market.
