Default Radio for VHF UHF weak signal DX

Hello,

What is the current thinking of which radio is currently the best for weak
signal VHF / UHF DX working ?

Any one care to comment ?



Probably not the radio, but having a good preamp at the antenna.

Most areas have so little activity that selectivity is not that much of an
issue except maybe two weekends a year for the contests. The noise floor
should be set by the preamp near the antenna.
