Greetings,

In the opinion of readers of this N.G., what are the finest (in
terms of standard criteria of performance) portable general
coverage HF communications receivers of current or previous
manufacture? I'm looking for references to high-end gear,
from makers like DEI, CEI, W-J, etc. and probably models made
under military or gov't contract, although civilian models may
exist with comparable specifications.

The designation of 'portable' implies self-contained power
supply and back-packable size and weight.

Michael
