/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Hey I dont know all too much about anything but I know one thing and that is to avoid all the marketing bullshit. The best TRANSCEIVER thing you can buy is the ubitx which costs about 160 bucks, if you just want 40 meter the BITX40 costs 60 bucks. About 6 watts transmit power. With the right antenna thats plenty. There is no better radio for your dollar if you are buying new, which is not the smartest thing anyway... if you honestly just want to listen to world radio or whatever because of radio then I advise you to just bring a few big sd cards full of music and podcasts and whatnot since audio quality is horrible on the shortwave radio bands.
