In Reply to: Help! I'm in the market for a good sounding portable radio. Suggestions? nt posted by Jack Seaton on June 11, 2004 at 07:07:51:
If you want a smallish, ie. large paperback sized radio, then I'd suggest the Panasonic RF-B60 It has AM, FM(mono) LW and SW. Digital tuning, VERY sensitive tuner+ 45 presets in a very portable package. And it was noted for its sound quality. That's why I bought one back in the day. Still bummed out that Panasonic dropped out of the World band radio market. The RF-B60 (and the later 65) sounds better than the competing Sony, and as good as the Grundig and is much easier on the batteries than the Grundig. (I speak from experience!)
If you just want AM/FM the GE superradio is good, it is a large radio and sounds good 'cause it has a large speaker. I too have heard that serious DX'ers prefer the II over the III.
Also, the Kloss-designed Tivoli PAL can run on batteries and is small.
Or, just buy a boombox and when it breaks next year buy another...
Good Luck,
--Matt
