a whole bunch of signals in that 1 kHz bandwidth. That's one of the great things about CW is you only need a couple hundred hertz of bandwidth between stations to be fine with that. And the broadcast receivers don't have enough tuning resolution. Now I said I was going to bring up and I'm just going to type a shortwave and see what the results are. A whole bunch of stuff. You have portable shortwave radio and single sideband. You've got to watch out for the res...oh look at all this garbage. I use such a broad search term that I'm getting like...let me see how many pages...27 pages of stuff here. Oh wow, scroll, scroll, scroll. There we go. 20 pages. 20 pages of things that turn up with shortwave. But there are shortwave HF receivers, HF, VHF, UHF, SHF receivers that you can buy that are usable and they have the form factor of a handheld. And some of them are actually very good. I think ICOM made one or Kenwood made one that was really popular because it was a communications grade general coverage receiver that you could actually use for single sideband and CW as a receiver for ham radio. I'm handing it back over to Peter KX2 CW.
