Finally made purchase of portable SW radio as upgrade to Grundig
300PE. I obtained
a Sangean ATS 909. The real tuning knob sold me. I had (and still
have) so much fun with the 300PE that
I was happy to get another small radio for travel.

I am enjoying the sideband access on the ATS 909.
Haven't used the external antennae, yet. Sound on the unit seems clear
and was able to access a lot of stations, overseas.

As far as larger sized radios, I still wonder about that Kaito 2100.
Anyone try one out, before? Might make a good larger "table top"
radio.
Saw glowing reviews:

And, since you can always keep spending more and more money, I noticed
this:

I heard a few of these high-end ones in a store and they were very
cool!
