[Elecraft] Re: KX1 as SWL Receiver

[Phil Wheeler]

Not familiar with that Kenwood, but if it is an HT with HF capabilities, 
the KX1 should blow it away for SWBC.

Comparing with a high-end SWL rcvr (e.g., the Sony SW-100 at $400 or so) 
will prove more interesting, I suspect.  and I will do that, since I 
have that Sony :-)
