[Spooks] Equipment

[Zack Widup]

I'm a radio amateur so I have been using my Kenwood TS-440 and/or TS-850 
ham transceivers which have general-coverage receive capability from about 
100 kHz to 30 MHz.  

You would probably want a general-coverage receiver if you don't want to 
spend the money on a transceiver (also transmits).  The TS-440's have been 
going used for around $300-500 and the TS-850 for $750-1000.  That is 
probably a bit expensive if all you want to do is receive, but the TS-850 
is known to have one of the best receivers in any commercially-made piece 
of equipment to date.

What kind of equipment are you folks using and where can you get it?  I'm in the newbee stage and am doing my best to learn the ropes.  Anyhelp that you folks could provide would be greatly appreciated.
