I'm getting a HF radio from Father Christmas (!) and I'm a bit undecided as to which one to get.
I'm only interested in receiving and I have a Uniden BCT15X for civil and military Airband.
For HF I was led to believe that a transiever is a better choice because of filters within it, I don't know if this is right or not.
So with that in mind I was considering a Yaesu FT450-D. A very reasonable £499 at Radioworld. This has since changed to £599 in the last day, this has made me consider looking elsewhere.
So now it's between an Alinco DX8, a receiver. Or an Icom 718, a transiever.
Anyway, now I'm utterly confused ! Anybody help please ?
