I have had many shortwave radios, 2 or 3 R-5000, a couple of AOR AR5000+3s. I always end up selling them. I have had those set up in the living room area separate from my shack. They were hooked up to a 40 meter dipole outside up around 50'. I think Im looking for something again DC to daylight or close but not sure why. I keep hoping I'll run across a set that I really enjoy. I was considering the JRC 545 or the like although its a bit older. Any ideas on a nice desktop rig? tnx, Rich
