Good radio though, if he can live without the digital aspect.

Since when did they add PLL to a Super Radio?


Dah! I should have read it better. I was just thinking of a good MW
receiver. Sorry CW!

In the early 80's to the fabled and little seen Digital Super Radios.

Can anyone give me opionions as to which one is the best true portable
PLL synthesized DIGITAL radio receiver for listening to MW(AM)?

Please consider the size no bigger than the ATS909 (No S350)

In order of importance please consider these:
1.-Sensitivity
2.-Selectivity
3.-Must have a tuning knob
4.-Sound (must have internal speaker)
5.-Memories

I think the Super Radios are good choice. Most dedicated SW rigs have
attenuation that is present across the AM broadcast band which
substantially lowers the sensitivity.

FO&A,

"Please consider the size no bigger than the ATS909 (No S350)"

Since when did they make a GE Superadio 'as small as' a
Sangean ATS-909 ? - or smaller ?

Well, your size preference kind of limits your options. If you're willing to go
a bit bigger, the Sony 2010 wins hands down. Otherwise, the Sony ICF-7600 is
pretty good on MW. Sony's AM synchronous detector really helps the selectivity.

Although not a "true" portable (no built-in ferrite rod antenna) the Palstar
R30 fits your size category, can operate off of internal batteries, and is a
fantastic MW radio, better than the Sony 2010.

You're not going to find a radio with all of your requirements as no
such receiver exists.

If you can live without #3, the tuning knob, in my opinion the best
portable for listening to MW is the Sony ICF-SW7600GR in conjunction
with a Select-A-Tenna, or similar. Note: The Sony An-LP1 does not work
on MW. I believe the above combination would come closest to your
requirements. It would eight or your nine requiremens.

Hope this helps, Joe
