[Premium-Rx] Watkins-Johnson WJ-9040 Broadband Radio HF VLF Receiver

[Craig Harrison]

George, It does look very tempting as this is a very high quality receiver. 
the problem is look at the bandwidths included. The Seller has been very 
upfront.  This combination of bandwidths is only good for listening to the 
local FM station unless youi have a baseband receiver to feed it to. If you 
want to monitor local public safety or any narrowband FM signals it is 
totally useless.
