* In urban areas, it's sometimes necessary to add some front end filtering to eliminate reception (or at least reduce it) of MW signals. These signals can cause multiple false signals (often heard as distorted spurs) to appear throughout parts, or all, of the HF spectrum.

HF Capable Receivers

  • Articles on various general coverage receivers produced in the past can be found here
  • These Widebanded Receivers can receive HF.
  • The Receiver Reviews category has numerous links on receiver reviews, many of which are online
  • Many newer HF Amateur transceivers also include a general coverage receiver as well. In most cases these receivers perform very well
