Well, it all depends on what you will be listening to. If you are
going for
Radio Flyspeck that broadcasts for an hour a day on a 10 watt
transmitter from Kiribati like one of the Japan Radio, Icom, Kenwood,
etc., radios, lots of antenna.

OTOH if you are looking for pleasant armchair listening to powerhouse
broadcasters and don't need a radio that fits into a pocket, then go
for an old Panasonic RF-5000b. Wonderfully smooth and mellow audio
from a hefty radio in a wood case (brushed steel exterior).

For a good portable at a decent price look at the Sony ICF7600GR.

If money were no object what is the best general
coverage receiver that one could purchase?
