You asked for any other radios, period, I thought.

Dave,

No, I was looking for portables, check the thread title. But thank you
for the two suggestions in your last post. I came close on variants of
both receivers. The Grundig Satellit 800 (basically a SW8 in a big
plastic box) does a very good job with MW DX, but ultimately the noise
floor caused by the display hash, made me choose to keep it with my SW
receivers hooked to external antennas. I don't own a D2999 (I wish I
did!) but I do own a D2935 (basically a smaller, more portable version
of the D2999) and looked at long and hard at it, just last night.
Though the audio is awesome, the broad bandwidth and less sensitivity
resulted in the decision to use it primarily for program listening, as
opposed to MW DX-chasing. Maybe I should see how the D2935 does on a
longer external antenna...

Thanks for your input!

Mike
