Re-reading my first post I noticed two silly errors I made: the slew
buttons on FM should offer 100 kHz tuning (not MHz)- and possibly 50
kHz tuning also - and the internal ferrite antenna for MW and LW should
be 260 mm minimum length (not 130). An auxiliary external removeable
MW/LW antenna, which could plug into a receptical on the top of the
radio, and be rotated would be extremely nice; only the antenna would
have to be rotated for best MW/LW reception, not the whole radio.

By the way, really "tight" (multiple) filters for FM reception would be
a plus.

One other suggestion: make the radio BIG - more on the order of the
Grundig Satellit 800. Smaller radios involve too much compromise in my
opinion. There are certainly enough smaller compromised radios on the
market already but very few "great" ones. (The Satellit 800 is close,
but the improvements suggested here on this post would result, I
believe, in one of the all-time great radios.)

Sorry about the errors. Senility ...

Best,

Joe
