Remember, on this group you are going to get all sorts of opinions - some
weird and some plain dead wrong. caveat emptor
I have a GE SRIII and can say without fear or favour that it will be the
most likely to get that faint MW station you are trying for.
I have owned many portables Sony 2010,7600 and various Sangeans, but on AM
MW the GE SRIII stands head and shoulders above the rest for getting that
really faint far off DX on AM MW.

I once got WWKB Buffalo NY on it without an external antenna and that
station is 8,000 miles away from this QTH!
I have only one AM MW station some distance away and the ONLY portable that
can pick up this station with listenable quality is my SRIII

Yes, the knobs are a bit wobbly and the tuning dial is very inaccurate, but
it does not drift and for getting that single station you are after it will
seriously outperform all the other portables on AM MW.

I want to thank you for your opinions so far. I wanted to clarify
something I mentioned earlier. I have looked at all of the options
everyone has mentioned, such as the Sony and the Degan,but I came to
the conclusion, based on what I will be using it for (which wouldn't be
too much), that either one of these would fit my needs. As for other
portables, I've looked into other portables, I'd just like to know
about these two from anyone who has them. :-)

I'd like to hear some more opinions about these two radios from anyone
who has either of them or both. Thanks again.

Jim.
