Lowe SRX-100 Shortwave SSB Radio Receiver ***GREAT COMPACT & PREPPER RECEIVER***:
$299.00

This receiver is a Lowe SRX-100 unit that carries the famous Lowe tradition for shortwave radio excellence and appears to have been introduced in 1997 with the budget buyer in mind. While this is a Lowe SRX-100 manufactured by AKD, the same unit was also manufactured under different badges like the Target HF3 and the AKD HF3. The badges carried only slight differences and were all manufactured by the same company. The SRX-100 is not a very common shortwave receiver and few examples of this show up in the North American market.

This receiver comes with a power adaptor, a CD of the manual and schematics, and a copy of the manual. As you can see in the pictures, the SRX-100 is in great cosmetic condition. It also operates perfectly as designed with no problems or shortcomings.

If you are looking for a receiver that has lots of bells and whistles, then you would be best served to look elsewhere. This Lowe SRX-100 is a very simple, but easy to use, receiver covering the spectrum from 30 khz thru 30 mhz and operates in the AM, LSB, and USB modes. The manual that accompanies the radio is definitely written with the beginning listener in mind and labors to be very specific for someone who is new to world band radio and would have basic questions such as how to erect an antenna and connect it to the receiver, the best time to listen to shortwave, and what is sideband listening and how does it work.

Thus, this is a great receiver for someone who may feel intimidated with some of the advanced and expensive listening receivers that may assume you already know this information. Since this unit comes with it\'s AC adaptor, but operates off of 12 volts DC, it is a great unit to use for listening during emergencies as it can operate off of a car battery (with the appropriate connector that is not supplied but easily available). The other reason that this is a great emergency radio is that it covers the full AM and shortwave spectrum, can tune into the amateur radio bands and decode both upper and lower sideband, and also covers the CB radio frequencies.

The strengths of this SRX-100 are it\'s compact size and it\'s simplicity. As you can see, there is no direct entry keypad. However, the designers have figured this out and the tuning dial will allow for fine to fast tuning depending upon the speed that the knob is turned or spun. Thus, despite not having a keypad, you can reach those remote frequencies very quickly. The compactness means that it does not take up a lot of desktop space and many owners have mounted these SRX-100\'s inside their automobile where it can fit within the dash of most vehicles, operate off of the car\'s 12 volt DC battery, and is easy to tune.

Let me summarize some of the features of this Lowe SRX-100 receiver:

Receives from 30 KHz to 30 MHz (30,000 KHz)

Listening modes of AM, CW, LSB, USB

Simple front panel

Flywheel weighted main tuning knob

Memory for your favorite station

Digital readout
