Although it lacks synch, the Panasonic RF-3100 (no longer made) is
very nice for MW listening. It has decent sensitivity, acceptable
audio, and is just plain fun to use.


* *I bought one of these new when released. Still use it. Fun. Nice
performance, though not exactly a Drake. Good desktop for dragging
to the cabin.


Is it as good as the classic RF-2200? *My 2200 is awesome with its turnable
ferrite rod antenna, and very good calibration after over twenty years.


I never had an RF-2200, but various reviews say it's one of the best
MW portables. My guess is that it's better than the RF-3100 on MW,
although the RF-3100 is no slouch.
