Greetings:

I'm looking at a few SW radios to replace my old 803A....

All three are Grundig radios:

S350


Your choice if you're a knob twiddler and don't mind plenty of images
(single conversion with no front end tuning, it appears). More a fun
radio with good sound, not a DX machine.

YB400 PE


The most serious choice of the bunch. A dual conversion portable with
everything such a rig needs, except for synch detection and sideband
selectable SSB. Good sound for the size, good FM selectivity, but some
FM images on SW, phase noise could be lower (probably still better than
on the old 803A). Would prefer Sony ICF-SW7600GR if more biased towards
shortwave and less towards FM.

YBP-2000 (Mini)


Abysmal performance for the price. No thanks.
