Whether the $500 is in or out of the quote is pretty much irrelevant to
the conclusion that you are seriously out of touch with current radio
technology. Yes, I know the Zenith TO is a marginal performer when
compared to modern tabletop (and portable) receivers. But you need to
move forward at least 5 decades in your thinking and experience. Most
modern portables will outperform several table top receivers (and
remember the 2010 and more recent offering from Eton are priced below
your beloved $500 number).


In that case, hey, I didn't say YOU couldn't spend $500 on a portable,
if you want to. If that floats your boat, knock yourself out.

You are the one who made the inane statement about portables, not me.

Do you like hamburgers? If so, check this out:

I'd never spend this much on a hamburger, because a $5000 is still just
a hamburger. But hey, they're selling plenty of them in Vegas...and in
SF now.

I can't imagine why you would want to spend $5000 or $500 on a
hamburger, but if that is what floats your boat, then who am I to
deprive you of that pleasure.



Enjoy your burger!!!! And maybe you'll think twice now before shooting
off your mouth again.

You may wish to look at the portables offered in the post 1970's world
before making such a completely unsupported statement again. You
really come across as out of touch.

Oh, "several"...so what? No one said anything inconsistent with that,
so why are your panties in a twist?

I didn't say anything about portables that isn't freely available to
anyone who looks at the price sheet on the Universal Radio website. You
must be confused.

THINK first, THEN post to the group. Your life will improve as soon as
you take things in this order.

Yo, buckwheat...you were the one who said:

"A $500 dollar portable is still just a portable. (It's also an
extremely bad deal, but that's a story for another time...)"

Before you can hope to post something meaningful, it is really
important that your bring you thinking and experience forward about 5
decades. Consider reading 25 years of back copies of publications such
as Monitoring Times, Passport to World Band Radio (and it's predecessor
RDI) and World Radio TV Handbook as a start.

Just stating the obvious, Sunshine.

Look, we've all made purchases we later felt bad about. No one is
criticizing you for it, but Jeez...you gotta own up to the mistake and
then move on. Continuing to twist your panties around isn't going to
get you anything...well, except maybe a rash or something.

Hope this helps.

If I pop $500.00 on a Radio,its going to be a BIG non toteable Radio.
