and pop. I use a GE SR-III for MW DX'ing. Because it is analog it is

as can be. The draw back is that the tuner dial is not accurate at all.
I've read/heard that the CC Radio Plus is better then the GE-SR series
because it has an accurate tuner. It may not be as sensitive as the GE-SR
III or as quite, but it is probably one of the best MW radios available.
I
also know that there are a lot of people that use old analog tuning
automobile radios as their MW DX'ing radio but I wouldn't know about which
ones to use or how to get them...

Here's a suggestion, hit a swap meet (or ebay) and get 1) rf signal
generator and 2) a (digital) frequency counter. When you're lost on
the SR-III, (turn on and) adjust the generator (with the counter hooked
up and working) until you get a heterodyne and then just read out the
frequency.

That is a nifty idea.... I wish they would just make the thing accurate ....
