Hello everyone.
first of all I would like to make it clear that I am not radio hobbyist.
I just know the difference between AM FM SW bands and that's it.
anyway I would like to listen to some distant shortwave stations (about 4000
Km away).
I dont want to use internet radio as I care about the experience of using an actual radio.
I have heard the best choice would be Eton 750 Elite but recently I have learned that the latest production run has very poor construction quality.
well.... in a nearby flee market I have found SANYO RP2127 in a very good condition. this is MW/SW radio that according to the following page covers SW: 3.2 - 12 MHz.

so do you think that it worth it to buy this radio in order to listen to SW stations.
yes I know it is not digital it doesnt have memory and all the whistles and bells but I just dont care about those and I enjoy a piece of equipment with some age on it.
what do you think should I go for it?
