Any suggestions for a good quality compact, preferably true

sensitivity. Many thanks.

The better ones are ICF2010, SW55, and RFB65. But I recently
dusted off my ancient trusty ICF4900 and it disgraced them all
on SW sensitivity with only its puny antenna, as does the SW22

Tuned front ends can't be beat. The manual scan is a must
function for me as you can see from the digital models...

Check out the review section on www.radiointel.com ; they do cover some
analogues

Thanks for the link reminder and any recommendations.
