The Yaesu FRG-7 featured prominently in the film trailer<\/p><\/div>\n

Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, The Professor, who adds to our discussion about the recently released film Shortwave<\/em><\/a>:<\/p>\n

I saw that David posted a comment on your blog where he wondered what radio the guy in that “Shortwave” film might be using. Well, watched a couple trailers and discovered that the movie featured a few receivers.<\/p>\n

So I took screen shots, and I thought some of your readers might be curious about this as well, and I’m sure some will ID all of them.<\/p>\n

I had hoped the movie might feature Gene Scott or Pete Peters broadcasting from the underworld, but that doesn’t appear to be the case.<\/p>\n

Anyway, here are some stills from the trailers[…]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a>Thanks, Prof! There are some classics here–Heathkit, Hammarlund, Hallicrafters and more.<\/p>\n

Perhaps Post<\/em> readers can comment with makes and models!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
