Help! Looking to buy my first sw radio.

I'm very curious about shortwave radio and would love to get started listening, but I have no idea where to start!

Can anyone point me to a specific radio I should be shopping for on a low/starter budget? I'd rather something manual as opposed to digital, but am open to any suggestions!

Thanks so much for your time!

Still in shock

So I was waiting for delivery of my XHDATA D808 (which came today) in the meantime I just kept tabs on FB Marketplace for fun. Yesterday I put a deal together on a mint Grundig Satellit 800 about 45 minutes away from me for $100. This morning I came across a “just listed” post on a like new Sony ICF-SW1 about 5 minutes from me… for $45! I swooped it immediately and on both radios people were literally up the sellers asses trying to get them. So I went from having no radios, to having three. I’m quitting while I’m ahead 😂

Radio Nacional Amazonia straight to my playlist baby

This station plays great Brazilian music in evening (my local time) and I get a reasonable signal on a 20’ wire antenna. It’s certainly not hifi, but it’s good enough for the Shazam app on my phone to ID the song and I can then create a playlist that I can listen to for the rest of the week. This is a new music hack for me.

Numbers Station In English

I'm pretty out of the loop lately when it comes to utility monitoring, but I think I read somewhere that this new numbers activity has sprung up recently. What am I hearing?

Just up’d my budget | what would you buy?

Was considering a Tecsun PL-330 …

What would I need to spend to see an appreciable difference over the 330?

My interests -> AM-DX and SW

Thanks.

Looking to get back into SW.

Hi everyone, I’m looking to get a new SW radio. What are some recommendations for a new one to buy? I can budget up to $250-$300 but if there are great options below that I’d love to see them as well.

Buh?

Up-down constant sweeps

I assume it's something CODAR, or the likes

Receiver on Web-SDR is Washington DC

I tried to screen record but it keeps crashing probably due to memory lmao

Is your house surrounded by antennas?

I have horizontal and vertical random wires. But they’re discreet. Does your home look like an obstacle course?
