Ad Number:	1749401
Date Placed:	11/13/25
Name:	Jim Southwick
Phone Number:	8017211811
Callsign:	N7JS
Category:	RADIOANQ
Heading:	Knight Star Roamer Shortwave Receiver
Ad Message:	I obtained this radio and before I turned it on, I replaced all the electrolytic caps with equal or greater values. The multistage canister is just for looks. 3 separate caps replaced it. I also lubricated all turning mechanisms - everything turns nicely. All tubes were checked with good ratings with a couple replaced with same or equiv units. Turned it on without any antenna and it sounds great on AM radio (attached bar antenna) with several stations coming in. I have not checked short wave bands for stations but they all have static. One thing I am noticing on AM broadcast is the S meter starts out showing a stronger reading when you first turn it on and then 5 minutes later the S meter shows the reading down.....although the radio station sounds just as loud to me. So, maybe either an instrumentation issue or sensitivity? This circuit is very simple (there's not much to it!) so someone could figure that out. Manual included. $75 includes ship. Paypal only.

Your Response to this Ad:

Due to the amount of non-ham scammers trying to respond to the ads, I am now asking a simple question that ham operators should easily be able to answer, but scammers may not know the answer: What is the number that hams use to represent the phrase "Best Regards"? This number is typically transmitted by hams at the end of a QSO.
Best Regards:
