I have to agree with grenner. For a portable, my vote goes for the
2010. I snatched up an extra when I heard they were being
discontinued. THey appear regularly on e-bay, sometimes on
rec.radio.sw and swap, you might also try the Yahoo 2010 board. The
synch detect for fighting off adjacent channel interference is
remarkable...as you know. If it was me, I would buy a spare 2010. If
sideband was really important - you would probably want something with
less than 100 hz tuning.

The 2010 is great off the whip - which I assume would be important for
your apt. location. The Sangean 909, while a great radio in many
respects, really needs an external antenna - not too hot just off the
whip.

Not sure what the symptoms of your dying 2010 are. You may want to
post those and especially in the Yahoo 2010 group. Perhaps someone
can help you revive it!

OK, let's assume you want the following:

- A portable, though it can be big/bulky as you don't plan to travel
often

- Great sensitivity to weak signals & adjacent channel rejection
(these matter more than sound quality)
- Don't care about LW, MW, Air, CW or what have you, but you want full
coverage for SW (including between meter bands)

-- You live in an apartment

-- You have up to $500 to spend, and would consider used

I own a dying Sony ICF 2010 and it's been 10 years since I researched
them. Back then I was pretty offended with how women in retail radio
shops were treated (kiss my ass, Universal in OH) so I'd like to do
what I can from others' advice and reading recent Passport guides.
Any info much appreciated!
