SG,

I NEVER CALIMED IT WAS A "SERIOUS" SWLING RADIO [.]

The Grundig S350 "Super Radio" Tecsun BCL-2000 is simply a FUN Radio.

It is a good 'portable' Radio to learn on and develop some basic
AM/MW/BCB DXing Skills and learn about the Shortwave Bands and
SW Broadcasting. Plus enjoy nice sounding FM Sound.

The Grundig S350 "Super Radio" Tecsun BCL-2000 is the right-sized,
very portable, and last a long time on a set of Batteries.

Grundig S350 "Super Radio" Tecsun BCL-2000 is everything that most
GE Superadio III users wished a GE Superadio IV would have become.

It may be nice for what it is, but such a single conversion rig is
definitely not what I'd recommend for halfway serious SWLing. After all,
images and intermod are easy enough to obtain on dual conversion rigs...
If that kind of performance is wanted, a Sony ICF-7601 would fit the
bill.

Exactly right. The choice between a Grundig S350 and a GE Super Radio III
is clear -- the S350 wins hands-down in every category. However, nobody
ever claimed it was the pinnacle of the engineering arts for portable radios
;^)

As for the choice between the Sony SW77 and the RadioLabs Super ATS-909,
there is an excellent thread on the DX398/ATS-909 Yahoo group, beginning
with this post: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/DX398/message/6275 and
continuing for the next few messages.

It's the best discussion I've seen on the relative strengths of the two
radios.
