The looks
of the SX-28 is what makes it desirable along with its great audio. That's
what made them popular with Military and FCC monitors was they were less
fatiguing to listen to. Its arguably the best looking boatanchor of all time
too.

Best-looking of all time? Nobody insults my National NC-2-40D without a fight!
It's even on the cover of Osterman's book on communications receivers. The
SP-600 series has to be a close contender. But unless you've got a thing for
little steering wheels as tuning knobs, the National has the Deco look down
much better than the SX-28. Even the speaker has those cool squatty Deco feet.

But it does raise the interesting question: what in your opinion was the
best-looking communications receiver ever produced? Brian's not eligible to
vote, because he's wrong.
