You don't give the price. The Sony 7600GR is nice at $150 for SSB.

The Drake R8B is nicer at $1400.

Hello

What is a good shortwave radio?

For what application? Base? Mobile? Portable?

What band coverage do you want?

How much do you want to spend?

What feature set are you looking for?

Asking the question that you did, by itself, is like asking "What
kind of car should I buy?"

Don't be Cheap !!

For overall value its still hard to beat a Sony 2010. If portability isnt a
big deal then the Ten Tec RX 320 DSP black box rcvr is a good value. Both are
available used on eBay pretty often. Although many disagree, I like the ICOM R
10 handlheld. With a good antenna it gets decent HF SSB and has a voice
squelch that quiets the rcvr between SSB transmissions (not to be confused with
a a carrier squelch). It also rcvs VHF and UHF. I got mine used for $200.

What
kind of car should I buy?

I recomend a German-made car, because of engineering excellence:
Mercedes, Audio, VW, etc

How about a car with a German name, owned by an American company, built in
China?

The RX-320 is quite portable. Aside from being able to be controlled with a
laptop which many people carry for other reasons, the RX-320 can also be
controlled with a PDA.
