Greetings,

I have a Grundig Satellit 800 and have fun with it. Not knowing a lot
about
SW Radios, I am curious about how my radio compares to other high
quality,
modern radios. So here is my question, what are the top, modern,
currently
available radios? I understand that there is no black and white answer,
and
it depends on X, Y, Z. If money is not an object and portability is not
desired, what are the generally accepted best radios? I am interested
in
your subjective opinions.

Thanks.

Dear Blake,

Virtually any modern receiver will "run rings" around what we had back
in the "old days" regarding performance, versatility, and reliability.


I beg to differ...I don't think all modern receivers can run rings
around a properly tuned R-390 or 390a series receiver. There may be a
few that will out perform it but even that is doubtful.
