How many shortwave
radios do you own and which ones do you use most frequently

I have a Sony 2010 and an original release 2001, mostly the 2001 stays
in it's box now as I'm storing it.

But I also have a Yaesu FT-840 which gets more use listening than
talking (isn't that how it's supposed to be on the ham bands, LOL?) and
I find I use that far more often.

Nice radio, I owned a 2010 for about 8 years and really loved it.

Current stable is:

Kenwood R5000, which sits more than it gets used.

Panasonic RF-B600, which gets used a fair amount on shortwave and FM.
Some of the nicest audio I've heard from a radio with a built in
speaker.

Degen DE1103, which gets used a lot on all bands. Really an amazing
little radio for the price.

Sony ICF 7700, is a slightly larger earlier version of the Degen
DE1103. Doesn't get used much because the keys are getting to sticky
to use.

National 100ASD which I inherited from my father doesn't get used at
all. Great example of what communication receivers once weighed and
looked like.
