OK - The 'opposite' Question can also be Asked :

Question for the Group... Shortwave Receiver from Hell ?

Q # 1 - What was the most un-favorable Desk-Top
Shortwave Receiver that you owned and were stuck
with using for a while :
The Receiver You Grew To Hate !
-and- What Made You Dislike It So ?

The screwed up Radio Shack DX-302 I got burned on back in 1983 or 84.

Even after it was "fixed", it's bad audio, along with it needing to have
a safecracker's touch to get any sensitivity on the higher freqs made it
a dog I was happy to see go away.. I replaced it with a Yaesu FRG-8800.

A Uniden Bearcat DX-1000 was almost as bad as the DX-302.

Q # 2 - What was the most un-favorable 'portable'
AM/FM Shortwave Radio that you owned and were
stuck with using for a while :
The Radio You Grew To Hate !
-and- What Made You Dislike It So ?
.

That would be the very annoying Sony IC-2002 I bought someplace as a
closeout. It was probably a repack, and it just annoyed me all to hell.
Very touchy fine tuning, and the AGC was bad too. I thought it was
defective, but a friend who owned one said it was just like his was.
I replaced it with a Sangean 803a? (Don't remember the model number
exactly).
