 Shortwave radio - Sort Of. - Bromptonaut
Not Shortwave but Airband.

Ages ago I bought a Yupiteru MVT 8000 on ebay. Unfortunately it seems to have a dead PSU back up capacitor and loses memory quickly when turned off. At the time layout of my study bedroom didn't make keeping it on mains a simple proposition and it was relegated to its box at the back of a cupboard with other stuff to Ebay when I get around to it.

Over the last few weeks I've been restraining myself from looking for an airband base receiver for monitoring local traffic but cannot justify spend to Mrs B when I'm nagging her over her Harris Tweed handbag habit!!

Then I remembered the Yupi! Found a 12v supply, plugged in, connected it to the discone in the loft then programmed the Dav sector frequencies, including UHF Mil, and it's brill.

ISTR somebody else (Zero?) having the MVT 7000 which I think was the handheld version.

Still have my handheld 225 as well but for trips out I prefer the (replaceable) Uniden 75XLT.
