I have tested several radios i have:

MY portable radios get nice signals but with high background noises
-Two of them (Chibo 999) with broad pasband gete a nice audio .
-One fully trransistorized BOLONG gets also marvelous FM audio to very
pealsant near 'HiFI' audio
-ICOM R75 goes well , Not a so gerat sound as form its speaker
-Lowe HF150 gets beter audio

You can read reviewsof several KChibo radios and Bolong in this file in

Getting the "Best Sound" out of your World-Band Radio
GoTo= http://www.redbird.net/n8ku/sound.htm

Some Highlights on this webpage by N8KU :

* Luckily, AM (SW) Radio is by nature not too demanding in the areas of low
bass or high treble.

* The AM (SW) Frequency Spectrum that you are likely to coax
out of even the best shortwave receivers extends only
from about 100 Hz to perhaps 5 or 6 KHz.

* What you will get from AM (SW) is the "slam" of realistic
dynamic range.

* Musical programs on the stronger stations such as the
BBC or Radio Nederland sound just incredible.

* Talk about "feeling the music!"

* And as a bonus, I can listen to local AM Stations for
more consistent musical programming.

* But even for news and talk shows, a professional 12" Woofer
raises the intelligibility to a level you won't believe.

I hooked up a DJ mixer to my stereo yesterday so i could listen
to vinyl & cds on it. I plugged my ICOM R75 into one of the
unused channels (via LINE OUT) and brought it up & it sounds great!
(in that shortwavy noisy way) It seems like both the audio frequency
response & dynamic range are greatly increased compared to headphones
(good sonys) and especially the internal speaker. The stereo is
a Technics SU-V26 & Cerwin Vega E310's if that matters to anyone.
So if your radio is near your stereo give it a go. Now i need a
good recorder (& the other turntable). I cant wait to hear some
good music on the pirate stations.... we'll see tonight hopefully.
ok folks bye
