A shortwave radio or an sdr dongle isn't that unusual to have.

  It absolutely is if it doesn’t fit with the rest of your pattern of life. I think you need to understand the context here. This isn’t a scenario where a friend casually asks you what’s with the radio. This is where you are most likely going to have to have have a damn compelling reason why you have this while taking a beating from a team of very motivated counter intelligence professionals and your story needs to stand up to a huge amount of very detailed scrutiny under some pretty shitty circumstances. Usually by the time they know you have the radio depending on where you are you probably aren’t going home at that point. There’s a famous case of this called the TRIGON case when the US were doing this in the Cold War to communicate with a guy in the Soviet ministry of foreign affairs. There was no talking your way out of it once they knew the radio existed. There’s some interesting interviews with the CIA officers who were running him in Moscow at the time where they go into a lot of the details. Marti Peterson is the name of the person you should go looking for if you want to know more.
