[Elecraft] KX3 vs FT817 - how do the "insidedimensions" compare?

[David Christ]

Depends on what you are trying to accomplish.  If it is to prove you 
can pick up the signal direct through the air then SWL is the name of 
the game.  (DXing is two way SWL i guess).  But if it is truly the 
content you are interested in then Internet radio is the thing.  Yes, 
you can do it with the computer but I just bought an Internet radio 
from C Crane.

Best way of listening to foreign radio stations I have run into. 
Great for listening to a lot of home town stations, too.

Now back to that two way SWL stuff on my K3
