Hi all,
I'm looking for a good portable receiver which won't break the bank. it doesn't
have to be an ultralight, performance is my main criterion. I would like
something with continuous tuning also if possible that covers LW on up to 30
kHz or higher. I have been looking at the various Sony's such as the ICF-2002,
the Sony ICF-2010 looks good but expensive. I need this as I will be doing a
lot of traveling to S America. I have a Rat Shack DX-394 which I could use but
I was never real impressed with it's performace, it overloaded very easily with
my LW's and dipoles. I don't think this would be a problem though as I doubt
I'll be able to string up any dipoles for a while in Lima, Peru. I am not
opposed to buying something second hand such as on ebay but would like some
opinions for these small radios as I know next to nothing about the different
models being a boatanchor man for most of my life. Performace is uppermost in
my mind, and I really don't care too much about FM performanc!
e, mainly MW and LW,
Is there anyone here that owns a RS DX-394 that can compare it to the current
crop of good portables, or in other words should I just stick with this one?
