[50mhz] What radio has the hottest 50 MHz receiver?

[Bill VanAlstyne W5WVO]

"Hottest" = the ideal combination of all the well-known lab metrics of a
great receiver that manifests in the REAL WORLD as one that pulls the weak
ones out of the muck where the others won't. This even includes ease-of-use
factors. A receiver may be great if you can take five moinutes to get it set
up and adjusted just right, but that's useless in real-world operating. In
other words, yeah, of course it's subjective, but that's what I'm looking
for. Just... INFORMED subjective.  ;-)
