I'm curious as to what other portable radios currently on the market you'd
consider to be better at basic DXing parameters such as:

-stability and tuning step suitable for ECSS tuning
-IF shift for QRM avoidance
-good sensitivity with decent IP3
-weak signal S-AM locking with selectable sideband
-three or more useful bandwidths

The AR7030 doesn't count... it's not a true portable with batteries and
integral antenna. The Palstar R30 has batteries but no antenna; it's a shame
it lacks S-AM and IF shift.

What DX catches can you list, that you've heard with the better portable you
have in mind?

I rarely respond to trollers...but *maybe* an interesting discussion will
come of this.

Also, if you're interested in a real discussion of radios, what's your real
name, Mr. Radio Buff?

I have to take back some of the evil thoughts I had about the intelligence
level of Eton radio designers and engineers after reading your posts.
They weren't too stupid to realize the bad designs of their radios and had
the fore thought to incorporate the alignment hole through the case.

For them, that's what I call: Forward thinking!
