What brand is the most reliable short wave radio?

I think you will find that the shortwave radios available for sale
today are as a group quite reliable. It would be very difficult for me
to say that one is distinctly more reliable than all the others.

I recommend that you focus on features and performance instead since
those criteria will have a much bigger impact on how you enjoy the
radio.

I would largely agree with this assessment, if we're looking beyond the
lower grade cheapies (Bell + Howell sorta thing). Forget
reliability...ultimately, even the best of 'em break down.

Besides, Apostle Keith would do well not to rely on anything that is of
man...

"Beware the beast man, for he is the Devil's pawn. Alone among God's
primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his
brother to possess his brother's land. Let him not breed in great
numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him, for
he is the harbinger of death."
