Skanti R5001
This is a marine receiver covering 0.01-30 MHz. It receives AM, USB, CW, and RTTY, and is a very good performer, especially using AM and on medium- and long-wave. I would recommend this receiver for anyone into shortwave listening. The AM mode is very pleasant to listen to. The only draw back is the lack of LSB.

Introduction from the instructions manual
The R5001 marine and general purpose receiver is designed for use in a marine main radio station. The receiver has synthesized operation in the frequency range 10 kHz to 29,999.9 kHz.
The receiver is designed for reception of type F1, A1, A2, A2H, A3, A3H, and upper-sideband A3A, and A3J signals. It is fully transistorized, and widespread use is made of integrated circuits. These features, in connection with the fact that no crystal ovens are used, cause the receiver to be ready for operation immediately after having been switched on.
Depending on the power pack installed in it, the receiver can be powered from a 24 V battery, or from AC voltages normally occurring in practice.
The dimensions match a 19-inch standard rack.
Because we are constantly processing the experience gained during the production and operation of our equipment, it is possible for minor modifications to occur relative to the information given in this instructions manual. Wherever practicable, however, any corrections will be listed on a correction sheet at the back of the front cover of this manual
