Hello All,

As the subject shows, my question is "What is the best shortwave portable
ever ?".

Nic.



Watkins Johnson made a "portable" - never tried it, but I'd expect it
to be quite good.

I have my AOR 7030+ set up as a portable.

The post 1996 Drake SW8 gets great reviews.

The Lowe HF-150 is reasonably portable.

The Sat 800 seems enormous for consideration as a portable - but it does
run on batteries.

I like the HF-150, choice of handle or shoulder strap and the shoulder strap
has a built-in antenna. A bit bulky, but far smaller than some "portables".
