[Meir-WF2U]

My favorite "non-R-390A" receivers I have and use regularly:

Rohde & Schwartz EK-07
Telefunken E104/KW10 - same league as the EK-07, and was "the" competitor
Siemens E309b
Siemens E310 ("Rainbow" receiver)
Siemens E311
Telefunken E127/KW5 
Racal RA17/RA117
Eddystone 830/4
Russian R-250M
Murphy B40 
And of course the SP-600, RCA CR-91, RCA Radiomarine AR-8516, TMC GPR-90.

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,
