Panasonic RF4900 Desk Top Receiver :

Impressive Looking but offered no real perfomance.
However both the Panasonic RF2200 and RF2600
'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radio were very good
at what they did.

Grundig S350 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radio*
http://www.radiointel.com/review-GrundigS350.htm
The Drift on Shortwave Band was very bad so it was
a Shortwave Radio with an in-effective Shortwave
Band. =But= As an AM/FM Radio it was just about
as good as a GE Superadio III. Plus it had a Digital
Frequency Read-out for ease and accuracy of Tuning.
* The Redsun RP2100 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave
http://www.radiointel.com/review-redsunrp2100.htm
Radio was a real improvement over the Grundig S350
and provided a usable Shortwave Radio Band for
Program Listening on the Shortwave Bands.
