I recently bought a Sony shortwave 7600GR and am pretty happy with it.

on this shortwave is no better -- actually, a little worse -- than the
AM reception with my $10 sony pocket radio (the new one).

The synch detection pulls in many a difficult station on the 7600GR;
the MW band isn't mostly a place of weak signals but of interference.

Both benefit from a MW loop antenna in the daytime, but the 7600GR
most of all because it can reject adjacent stations.
