I intend to purchase a multi-band (world) DX receiver for global short wave
listening, as well as long-distance BCB. The list above from Dan seems to
include some of the most popularly used and discussed receivers available.

Could anyone assist me with their experiences by suggesting a priority
order - best to worst - for say half of them, based on performance and
features.

Also, what brands and models perform even better than those shown above, in
order of increasing cost?

TIA
