\"RadioShack-Shortwave\"<\/a><\/p>\n

SWLing Post<\/em> reader, Paul, spotted a deal on the RadioShack 20-629; <\/strong>the lowest price I’ve ever<\/em> seen on a shortwave portable with single sideband (SSB).<\/p>\n

Paul\u00a0writes:<\/p>\n

Great deal on a radio: Blinq has the RadioShack 20-629, an upgraded re-issue of the previously discontinued Sangean [ATS-505], for sale for only $27 with coupon code WELCOME10<\/strong>:<\/span>

They also have the same radio in their eBay store but of course you can’t use their 10% off coupon there, although you may be able to use your eBay Bucks:<\/span>

I just received mine and it appears brand new, never used.<\/span>

Thanks for pointing out this deal and for sharing your experience, Paul! I just purchased one and can confirm that they’re still available. I can’t imagine that this stock will last long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
