So PLEASE be more specific what YOU want!

P.S. I do want nothing. I have a Panasonic RF2600 (tabletop) and I am pretty
happy with it. I just want to grasp the state of the art in portable
receivers - without going into any detail.

A receiver popularity poll is not going to give you an updateon the
state of the art. If that is what you are looking for, then just ask it.
You may get your answer sooner as 1) people will be reponding to what
you really want, and 2) you won't get labelled as a troll.

Not a lot has changed in the past several years. Synthesized radios have
become less expensive. There is more integration of function that
generally drives costs down. The market is dominated by imports from
China and Taiwan.

Skipping the detail really won't tell you much.

P.S. Say you want nothing and then adding "I just want" could be confusing.

For God's sake, man, take things in their context. I said that I want
nothing from the alternatives which that person was offering.

Please, just bring in your knowledge which will hopefully help the others.
We are not in an IQ contest, or in a show-off. I know that you an all the
other people in this group are darn smart - otherwise I wouldn't bother
asking a question here. So, be yourself and try help the others.

Look, I have something for those interested:

It may be nothing, but at least I try to help. This is the spirit.

Hi

Yes that is the spirit. This is what makes SW fun and gives it a community
draw. In my personal experience with other SWLers, I found the majority of
them to be smart, comprehendible, logical, responsible and patriotic. Of
course there are those that are Not here for the spirit of radio or lack it.
What can you do?

Thanks for info on your website

I would put the RF-2600 immediately behind the RF-2200 for radios in that
category. It doesn't have quite the sensitivity of the RF-2600, but I
really like the digital display and front-panel calibration control. Also
great sound. An excellent, excellent radio. Keep it if you got it.

I happen to own a Panasonic RF 2600 radio which I bought new at a
Service Merchandise store about twenty something years ago.As far as the
performance of the radio is concerned,I rate it about average,certainly
nothing to crow about.On the bottom of the radio there is a jack that
says EP EXT/SP (for an extension speaker,I suppose) I have never used
any of the jacks on the radio before,but about two years after I bought
the radio,the radio would not turn on or light up at all.One day I was
poking around at the jacks on the radio with my fingers and I found that
the above mentioned jack was slightly loose.I poked a piece of plastic
between the metal part of the jack and the plastic casing of the radio
and it worked.But sometimes that tiny bit of plastic wedge will work
loose and the radio will not work again unless I mess around with that
bit of a plastic wedge I put there.As far as me takeing the chassis out
of the radio cabinet,and me not knowing how to repair radios,(unless it
is oviously a wire that needs soldering back together or a screw or nut)
I think my best bet is to leave the radio alone.I think the jack needs
to be tighned up,but there is no way to reach the nut from the front of
the radio.Some of my radios,if I pull the knobs off,there is enough
room,but just barely,I can tighten up those nuts.
