Likely not as good as a larger more expensive communications receiver, but also not significantly worse for urban SWL. There may be other possible issues, so buyer beware. | |

Or are you using some more powerful receiving equipment? I particulary want to know what range of amateur ham radio i'm likely to receive on a portable radio receiver as that's what I'm thinking of buying, thanks. | |
