[R-390] OT: Other Radios You Like

[Barry]

I've been thinking of getting another BA and was wondering if you guys have any recommendations with regards to a 75A-4, R-388(51J-3), 51J-4, or an SP-600.  I'd really like to be able to have general coverage (hence making the 75A-4 not a good choice) and was wondering how these radios stack up against each other.  Things like filtering, general "sounds good", etc., would be appreciated.  I'd probably want to do some CW work with it so the provision of a CW-width filter is a big consideration; however, I want it sound good on SWL-ing activities too.

Also, if you know where any of these radios might be for sale (besides eBay), I'd appreciate that too.

Thanks,
