I moved up the R-75 after using a Sangean ATS-909, Grundig YB-400. I also

That one sentence kicked off a lot of reading! After poring over the
archives and looking all over the net, I'm down to the R-75, the
PCR-1000 and Ten-Tec's RX-320 as fitting my price-range and having the
features I think I'm most interested in. And I found Linux controllers
for all of them.


If you're mostly interested into shortwave go with the R-75 or the RX-320.
There is some _very_ nice software for the RX-320. The newer RX-320'D'
will also support DRM. Don't know about Linux software supporting DRM...
If you like a standalone receiver go with the R-75.
The PCR1000 is comparable with the Sony 2010 on shortwave performance,
not too bad for a widerange receiver of that price. But the PCR-1000 is
far behind the R-75 on shortwave.
