Saul, I have not bought one as yet as I have enough portable radios. Even through the local Fred Meyer has a half a dozen of them for $17.99 (not on sale). With me, the newness would wear off and it would end up in the drawer with a couple of my GE Walkmans I never use. I am "very" happy with the Sony S5W I got from Gary. It is a great size for travelling and a pretty good portable to say the least. One of the best I have ever used for MW DX. The GE Super Radios (1 & 2) are back ups. I also have an old Sony 6500 I need to get repaired as the audio cuts in and out plus the Grundig I bought a couple years back that is ok. With all of those, the R8, SPR4, and Kenwood R-1000, I am set up pretty good. The only other radio I might be interested in time might be a computer radio down the road. Oh yes, if I found a decent Drake R7A, I might be interested as I love Drake receivers. But I am pretty well set up with radios. Add to that a couple boomboxes too. They have poor radios though, but good for dubbing.
