Nice attitude! If you'd checked the archives you'd have found this gets
discussed about 80 times per year! There is NO best radio! One man
wants one with all the bells and whistles and another wants a bare bones
receiver that will fit in his match box. One wants one to sit on his
kitchen table or mount in a rack that will pick up a gnats sneeze in
China. Another wants a very portable radio that eats about 4 AA
batteries every six weeks and all he plans to do is listen to 100,000
watt power houses that are 600 miles away!

I repeat. There is NO BEST RADIO for everyone! I'm sure some of the
answers were not what you expected. None of them were mine, until now.
Some, I'm sure, were intended to be a bit sarcastic or funny for the
simple reason that this has been discussed about 10,000 times and there
has never, to my knowledge, been a final consensus. Some of the answers
given may have been the best - for the guy who only has ten bucks and
wants a shortwave radio. The best answer, in my opinion, was about the
first one you got. "If money is no object" get a military contractor to
design what you want! However, it may only be SECOND BEST. The BEST one
may be about the second answer you got. Buy one of each! If money is
no object them I'm sure space would not be either, as you could add a
few rooms, or stories, onto you house - or warehouse - and make room for
all the new toys.

Finally, you must be fairly new or you'd have known something of the
number of times this has been asked. As such, we don't want to come
down too hard on you. Just stick around. Lean back. Grab another
drink. And watch the fun. You'll find out that everyone was really
pretty easy on you. Sometimes, when people ask for it, this group can
get down right UGLY! Can't we Steve? ;-)

Get yourself ANY shortwave radio and then tell us what you think of it. :-)
