I'm curious about what everyone in this newsgroup considers as their
best shortwave receiver. Mainly I'd like to know if there is a
tendency for using portables vs. so-called desktop receivers. My best
radio is a Sony ICF SW7600GR, and at this time, I only have portable
radios.

Best Receiver- JRC NRD-515 (It needs an alignment, the PBT is messed up)

Other Receiver- JRC NRD-525 with Kiwa ultimate rejection mod.

Other Receiver- Hammarlund HQ100 modded to the max, has fantastic audio,
and doubles as a space heater.

I've had a couple of portables, and never understood the logic of buying
a new 2-300 buck portable instead of a used 300 buck desktop, like an
R71A.
