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 tabletop: Drake R8B

Best "portatop" (what a dumb word, but I guess we all know what it's
supposed to mean): Drake SW8 (w/sideband selectable sync)

Best portable: Eton E1

Best compact portable: Sony ICF-SW07

All that said, my first SW radio deserves mention here as being a real
gem, having provided years of service and excellent performance: the
Panasonic RF-2200.
