\"\"<\/a>I’m in the process of re-arranging my small office\/radio shack and building a dedicated fold-out workbench for all of my projects that require a bit of solder and tinkering.<\/p>\n

I need to downsize some of my radio collection to not only free up space but also re-fund the radio kitty. I literally have dozens and dozens of portables–many duplicates. I also don’t like radios to sit on a shelf–I’d rather them be in someone’s hands and on the air. There are a number of portables I use regularly and that I’m keeping for future performance comparisons.<\/p>\n

Note that most of these radios are in a price class that likely makes international shipping a moot point (the shipping might cost as much as the radio). I’ve included shipping in the following prices, but this assumes USPS within the US.<\/p>\n

If you’re interested in any of the following, contact me at: forsale@swling.net<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Also, please not that it could take time for me to reply to your inquiries due to my activities and travels this week.<\/p>\n

Sony ICF-SW11 – Update: SOLD<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a>This ICF-SW11 is in superb shape. Comes with original box and paperwork.
\n$65 shipped USPS to US.<\/p>\n

Tivdio V-117 – Update: SOLD<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a really simple analog display, DSP radio. Performance is respectable for such a super inexpensive radio. Of course, not a DXing machine or anything. $15 shipped USPS to US.<\/p>\n

XHDATA D-808 – Update: SOLD<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is a wonderful DSP radio and I’ve had many a good listening session with this unit. If you’re not familiar with this radio, I highly recommend reading 13dka’s review<\/a>. $90 shipped USPS to US.<\/p>\n

Sony ICF-SW100 – Update: Keeping this one after all<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I honestly can’t decide if I want to sell my SW-100. I swore I never would and I might change my mind. This one is not cosmetically perfect (perhaps 7 out of 10?)–I purchased it used from Universal Radio and had Vlado (N3CZ) replace the ribbon cable in this unit and tested it thoroughly<\/a> in 2015. I have traveled extensively with this little radio since and it has served me well. I haven’t used it in ages, though, because as of late I tend to take my CC Skywave SSB or Belka DX since those would be easier to replace if damaged.\u00a0 This would only include the radio and the attachable cover. It works as it should and the battery cover is completely in tact.<\/p>\n

If interested, just send me an offer. Full disclosure: I’m truly on the fence about this one and could change my mind.<\/p>\n

More to come…<\/h1>\n

As I dig into my radio reserves, I may find others that I’ll post for sale.<\/p>\n

And in case you’re wondering, I’m not leaving the world of shortwave. Not at all. Even after I sell of some extra units, I’ll still have 24 or more portables here. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
