[IRCA] good portable receiver for DXing

[Bob Young <bobyoung53@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I like the suggestions and will check them out. However I should have put a price range in, I would be willing to spend up to around 200.00 for a receiver. I like the sound of the Sony ICF-2010 anyone familiar with this one?
