Short video review and demonstration of the new County Comm GP-7 / SSB handheld receiver. This unit operates on Longwave (LW), Medium Wave (MW - AM broadcast), Shortwave (SW), HF Ham Radio (AM/SSB/CW) as well as FM Broadcast bands. Some really great features and improvements over the previously reviewed GP-5/SSB (see links below) - including direct frequency entry, multiple receiver bandwidth selections, enhanced scanning and memory modes and much more. Here are the links to my videos on the GP-5/SSB, as well as a link to the County Comm website for the new GP-7/SSB:
