The Thanko Raremono USB shortwave radio.
I can’t wait to review one of these. It’s a new, inexpensive, computer-controlled shortwave radio by the Japanese company, Thanko. The jury is out about its performance, but it does have the following features:
- AM, FM and good Shortwave coverage (3,000 kHz-20,000 kHz)
- Ability to record radio programs live or schedule recordings of future broadcasts.
- Hooks up to the USB port on your PC and is software controlled
- Works on Windows XP and Vista
The Thanko Raremono USB Shortwave is available from the Thanko website for $45 US (English translation).
Stay tuned–I plan to review this radio in the near future.
