I currently own a Radio Shack DX-399 (same model as the Sangean
ATS-606), which is a quite solid, portable LW-MW-SW-FM receiver with quite good sound quality when delivered to ear buds (FM stereo to earbuds.) I mostly use this radio for local MW and FM listening, but will occasionally listen to SW broadcasts, and DX-MW using a Radio Shack loop. I love this radio for its portability, but am looking for another to put one of them away in a Faraday box for use in case of a major emergency. So, what other makes/models should I consider? Repeating some of the above, here's my criteria: 1) The size of the DX-399 or smaller. 2) General coverage MW-SW (up to 30 kHz), and with stereo FM (when fed to earbuds). Don't need LW. 3) Good sound quality (especially of FM) when fed to earbuds. 4) As good or better sensitivity than the DX-399 for MW dxing and SW. 5) Don't need SSB, but would be nice. 6) Don't care too much about speaker quality, since I would use it exclusively with earbuds. 7) Don't care about the other bells and whistles (e.g. alarm), but some station memory would be nice. So what are my other options? New and/or used (buyable through eBay) will be considered. Thanks! Roger |
