That frequency guide that 'Sonwatcher' posted is a very nice clue for listening to the 'Land of OZ'! A very general rule is to listen above about 5 Mhz. There's no one single frequency that's 'standard' for any country, everybody uses all of them, sort of. The 'trick' is in the searching and picking out the station/place you want to listen to. Sort of like that song, "A Little Less Talk and A lot More Action!" . The time of day plays a big part in what you can hear, along with the frequency. Typically, higher frequencies in the day time, lower ones at night.

Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
