The best portatop that I have come across is the Eton Corp. éton e1

That seems to be a general consensus.
Wonder what the next 'must have' unit will feature?
...and at what price
For that answer, I think that John Plimmer would be the one to consult.
John seems to have the latest and greatest stuff.
His AMBCB DX is amazing!

I think his current AMBCB DX target
is only a couple zip codes away, WSB 750

You mean that John doesn't have that easy pick? I, on the other hand,
can't hear WSB Atlanta because a local ESPN clone is on 760 and only 10
miles away. The closest I came was using my HQ-145XC with all the
crystal filters humming! WSB came in OK for awhile. South Florida is a
wasteland for hearing good DX, having locals running around the clock,
or Cubans, on every major frequency. I love WCBS 880, and can pick it
up for a little bit, until the Cuban on 880 swamps it, had to take up
listening to it on the net. Same with WABC, 770, WHO, 840(our local
WFTL 850 keeps it from coming in). I have better luck trying to pick up
European stations.
