Thanks for the reply David. At least I recognize the Icom and Yaesu
names I have many amateur rigs made by them.

I don't need an "entry level" receiver per se, but if one works well
then I'm game for getting one. I started SWL in 1983'ish with an old,
analog Radio Shack RCVR and listened since the late 80's with various
HF amateur radios. So, 1983 was the last time I had a SWL specific
radio! I'm stuck using my Yaesu FT-847 as my SWL RCVR and want
something that's portable (battery powered as well as DC in).

You probably would like the Eton (they own Grundig name in some
places). Well built.

I've been trying to figure out who Eton is. They're selling what used
to be called "Grundig" radios? Seen their ads; just don't know who
they are.

Chinese manufacturer, who made most of the Radio Shack SW receivers... and
bought the brand when Grundig failed.


From the Palo Alto part of China.

The parent company is Taiwanese.and they subcontract the manufacturing.
