[R-390] OT: Other Radios You Like

[rbethman]

Barry,

As for one that fits what you describe, the SP-600s seem to fit the bill 
nicely.

540 Kc to 54Mc coverage.  Great audio!  Crystal "phasing" for narrowing 
selectivity.  Does AM, SSB, and CW very nicely.  SWL is nice.

Just my $0.02, after having owned Hallicrafters, National, and all other 
assorted radios also including the ubiquitous R-390A.

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.
