[Premium-Rx] Longwave Receiver Recommendations?

[sm0aom at telia.com]

First place AEG E1800/3 (aka Telefunken)
Second place Racal RA-3791
Third NRD-93

Plus some SDRs:

Kiwi or Perseus

This depends somewhat on which antennas are going to be used,
and if there is a low-pass filter before the receiver to keep out strong MW signals.

Other good LW receivers include:

Skanti R-5001
SRT CR91
Rohde&Schwarz EK085

I have used and/or evaluated all the above analogue receivers
as part of coast radio and SIGINT station design work during the 80s and 90s.

Their main differences are the available filter bandwidths and shape factors, and of course the price...
