I'm curious about what everyone in this newsgroup considers as their
best shortwave receiver. Mainly I'd like to know if there is a
tendency for using portables vs. so-called desktop receivers. My best
radio is a Sony ICF SW7600GR, and at this time, I only have portable
radios.

Zenith 15-U-265

You can sit and listen to this 1939 classic all night. Pulls in
stations all across the dials(yes dials). Nothing beats the 15"
speaker in this radio. It's great for baseball as well.

My best (favorite) is a Yaesu VX-6R with a telescopic antenna. Sucks in
signals like a champ. Audio is a little sucky but what do you expect from
a handheld?
