the Ten-Tec RX-340 is one of the best all around receivers available at a
price of $4000

if you only do SWL listening, the Sat800 is the BEST FOR THE MONEY

if you do a lot of utility listening, then the 800 is a bad choice since it
has only a 2.3 as its narrowest filter,

anyone who gives advice without asking what you will do with it and what
antenna you can put up and what your budget is can NOT give you good advice.

I have a Grundig Satellit 800 coming my way, and some of my fellow ham
radio friends are trying to convince me that I've made some kind of
mistake.

The AOR 7030 is darnedably expensive, but I did have a question as to
performance characteristics and enhancements. Is there a shortwave radio
superior to the AOR 7030? Just for curiositie's sake, is there such a
radio that IS more superior, if money were no object? Or is there one
superior in quality that is actually less expensive?

Is there perhaps a website that has a fairly independent review of these
radios, and makes comparisons?

Any help greatly appreciated.

(I do know of radio netherlands, and universal radio.)
