I agree with the other posters. Sony's 7600GR is the way to go in this
category.

There are cheaper radios, but they're unlikely to rival the 7600GR in
performance.

There are better performing portables, but they're also very expensive.
I personally don't think I'll ever spend more than $200 on a portable
receiver again.

Excellent choice. I think you'll be very pleased with the '7600GR.

Onliest thing (Radio) I would give five hundred dollars for is a Ten-Tec
or Drake or if I had mo moola,a Watkins Johnson Radio.There isn't any
portable radio in the World worth more than nienty nine dollars.

You obviously never had your hands on a Sony 2010, SW77, SW55, SW100 or
SW07.

What???? Have you ever tried a Sony 2010, 55, 2002 or 7600?

A WJ is really an overpriced poor choice for most SWL's. With a radio
designed for SWL's they will hear he same stations and have a radio
designed for the kind of frequency jumping most of us do. And a Ten
Tec lives on a reputation more than performance.

I wonder how difficult it would be to mod an Eton E1 in order to add a ferrite bar antenna.

how much do you want to spend ?

Hello everone
I am sorry to ask a question such as this, but I am totally lost on what
radio to buy.
I am new to SW, but want a radio that will enable me to listen to the
usual broadcast bands on SW as well as ssb transmissions for ham and
utility stations.
which of the many available would you people recommend please
thanks
Rikk
PS, at the moment I have a tecsun pl230.

Sangean Ats-505 quite a good radio easy to use and alot of features
perfect for newbies like you and me.I dont know if they call it
something else in america but im positive you can get it there.

Whatever kind of or brand name of table model radio or portable radio
someone mentions,somebody is going to come along and knock it.I like
Chevrolets,somebody will say Ford or Dodge is better.I owm many,many
different kinds of radios of all sizes and a lot of different brand
names.I own two Ford vehicles two Chevrolets,one Dodge vehicle,two
Willys Jeeps,one made in Germany Moped (it has bicycle pedals on it)
Everything I own,regardless of whatever brand names,somebody will say
their off the wall brand name whatever is better.If I had the money,I
would buy a Watkins Johnson Radio,yet somebody says Watkins Johnson
Radios aren't all that good.Life sure is funny.
