Hi all -
KJ6FNP here - newly licensed and taking in all the interesting information and ideas. Great to have such a helpful community, worldwide nonetheless!
So, my son is interested in amateur radio and was wondering if there was a receiver that he could keep in his room to just listen. He wants something to listen not only to amateur (regulated) as well as CB, etc.
I don't mind spending a bit of money for something decent, and, I don't mind putting up a longwire antenna, if that is necessary, but not sure...
So, here's what I am asking:
Any thoughts, recommendations or ideas are greatly appreciated.

So, here's what I am asking:
- Are there receivers that will receive such a wide set of frequencies (we don't need ALL freqs)?
- Do I need to put up just a simple longwire antenna for such a receiver?
Any thoughts, recommendations or ideas are greatly appreciated.
