I'm happy with my "gray market
cheapo chino radio" and only use it for a couple hours a day, and then
not all at once so even the weird 99 minute sleep timer function doesn't
bother me.

Oh, so your just a casual shortwave broadcast listener. I rest my case.

I'm not alone. Most SW listeners only listen to a handful of stations. I
imagine this is true even in places like Asia. That's why sales of
portables are better than sales of tabletops-there are far fewer hard
core DXers out there than casual listeners. FYI, I DO have a Yaesu
FRG-8800 for DXing, but since in my current living situation I have no
place for an external antenna it currently sits unused. I hope to
install a proper antenna once the house is built.
