Remember you’ll need either a scanner or Short Wave radio with SSB (LSB & USB) modes, and in the case of a scanner, frequencies between 4 to 15MHz. Steps of 5KHz or less. (The smaller the step, the more you can fine tune reception, with the exception of scanners with a BFO (Beat Frequency Oscillator) that work in the same way as a clarifier/slider on 27MHz CB and don’t need step adjustment for fine tuning.
