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.


The Winradio G313e by far. No other receiver comes close, not even JRC
NRD, not even AR7030.

The only receiver that comes close is Winradio G303e. I bought the
G313e after using the G303e for almost 2 years and never regretted it.

If you have not heard about them, see the latest WRTH review. Here are
the technical detals:

Hope this helps.

I was surprised to see PTWBR rate the 303 slightly higher than the
313. I guess it was primarily value versus price judgement. Did you
opt for the e versions to better accomodate future motherboard designs
or were there other considerations? If you were to make a
reccomendation would it be to save up another 3 bills (or Bens
actually,) and go whole hog, plus the postage? Thanks, S.
