Boston Acoustics Receptor HD.

HD doesn't work very well but this is an exceptional analog radio.

- Fantastic selectivity, both AM and FM. Indeed, while listening to
analog stations the Receptor HD is nearly immune to interference from
adjacent-channel HD stations.
- Excellent sensitivity.
- Excellent audio quality.
- Shows RDS on FM.

Downsides:
- Self-interference problem on AM. Requires outdoor antenna for good AM
reception.
- Not enough audio output power.
- Way too expensive!

Pretty expensive for ugly, Chinese-made junk, with 2" speakers - I'll
stick to my $10 Sony ICF-S10MK2, thanks ! If you bought this piece of
junk, you should be proud of yourself, for supporting the HD Radio
Cartel, in destroying the broadcast bands with IBOC. Looks like,
consumers don't give a damn, about this farce and fraud:

I nominate the Tecsun PL-350. It's a small portable with tons of
features: excellent sensitivity, good sound, a tuning knob, 550
memories, analog volume control, full coverage of all bands, rubbery
finish, and it's just plain fun to use. This radio has been seriously
underestimated.

Here's some reviews:http://www.eham.net/reviews/detail/4...m/group/pl350/

For now, it's available only through eBay:http://tinyurl.com/2p6w5a

I like the Kaito WRX-911. Great sensitivity and band coverage for such
a small radio. Costs around $20.

I would have said the DE1102 but when I look back at the reviews it
has never really been underestimated, just forgotten.

The DE1121 really has been underestimated though, most of the initial
comments have been pretty damning but my experience has been
overwhelmingly positive.

Big fan of this radio. Great way to introduce someone to SW,
relatively inexpensive at US$30, has major bands and brings in more
than you would expect. I really like the sound from such a little
speaker, and if I have a complaint, it's that it is analog, and unless
you have a digital receiver or SW guide around to confirm the
frequency it's difficult to know exactly where on the dial you made
the capture. Stations that show 9.550 MHz on a digital show up in the
9.700-9.900 range on the mini pe

I think Chris Chambers may be one of the most underestimated receivers
around. I liked him when he played for Wisconsin too.

That's tricky... Anything that's halfway good on shortwave tends to be
reasonably well-known, the market just isn't that large.

Things that one /might/ consider underestimated, in random order:
* KA1101
* FRG-100B
* AR3030
* ATS-808(A)
* Some boatanchors
* importance of antennas
* importance of operator experience

*Overrated* gear is less hard to find.
