Radios To Use With Your App

If you're looking for a radio to use with the app, there are many different types to choose from. First, if you need a shortwave radio, for monitoring HF Weather Fax, NAVTEX, PSK31, or morse code you can consider either a portable or desktop radio.

Portable radios cost much less, and tend to have a built in antenna, so no external antenna is required. They work well if you have a strong signal from the station, and do not have a lot of nearby sources of radio interference.

Some portables to consider include:

Sangean ATS-909X AM/FM/LW/SW World Band Receiver

Kaito KA1103 Worldband Radio

Sony ICF-SW7600GR AM/FM Shortwave World Band Receiver with Single Side Band Reception, plus External Plug-in Antenna

Tecsun PL-600 AM/FM/LW SSB Shortwave Radio, Black

ETON Satellite 750 AM/FM Band Radio (Black)

If you need to improve your reception, you can always consider getting an active antenna: Kaito Amplified Active Loop AM & Shortwave Antenna, KA33

For ACARS and PACKET you need a VHF radio, often called a "scanner". Some to consider include:

Uniden BC355C 800MHz 300-Channel Base Mobile Scanner (Black)

Uniden 300-Channel Clock Radio Scanner

Uniden Bearcat BCT8 BearTracker Warning System with 800 MHz TrunkTracker III

Uniden Digital Mobile Scanner with 25,000 Channels and GPS Support (BCD996XT)
