JS,

From the DX-440 to one of those three would be a nice step up.

* Sony ICF-SW77 is a full featured 'portable' but alas it is a portable.

* Grundig Satellit 800-M BIGGER than Both has more features then
the Sony and a Better Sound then both the Sony and Yaesu.

* Yaesu FRG-100B a true Table Top Receiver abd is full featured.

TBL: If you are primarily a Shortwave "Program" Listener then my
recommendation would be the Grundig Satellit 800-M Radio. It is
very easy to opperate and enjoyable to Listen to for hours on end.

I just bought Grundig's new YB550PE from Universal Radio for the nice price
of only $100 (ex. shipping) and got it shipped to me in just two days. I
plan on using this thing for casual AM/FM listening and some on-the-go
DXing (camping, on a train/bus trip, etc.) and it's been just the thing for
that purpose.

Now I've got my sights on something to replace my old Realistic DX440 which
I did my 'big stuff' with and that looks to be either a Grundig Satellit
800, a Sony ICF-SW77, or a Yaesu FRG-100B. Which one of those would be the
best buy?
