Nothing special, an old Radio Shack DX394B, a Sony ICF 7600 and a Uniden 3500 for VHF/UHF. About 80 feet of Racal HF dipole wire around the loft as a SW aerial straight into the back of the RX's and the 3500 has a homemade dipole.
Main listening is done on a Murphy A104 and that Ekco A173 I restored a few months ago (in Success Stories on UKVRR), I just twiddle about on these and then capture the exact frequencies on the digital sets if I find something good and want to record the details.
I'd certainly love a RA17 or even a more expensive digital comms receiver but can't justify the expense, let alone squeeze a vintage comms receiver into the box room which is my 'office'
