Ciao Radio H101 is also worth considering!

Rene:

  Because you are blessed with high-end receivers, why not go for something 
like the AOR 7030+ or a used Drake SW-8?  I think you'll be disappointed 
with the Icom's, as they are attenuated on BCB and have poor selectivity. 
The AOR will allow you to use Collins filters!

              Hi all,

  I am considering purchasing a new tabletop RX for DXing.  Currently I have 
three tabletop radios I use:  all are about 7-9 years old:  an NRD-535, an 
AOR5000, and a Watkins-Johnson HF-1000.  The WJ is my primary RX for MW 
DXing, and I've never found anything else that comes close.  But, as a 
rack-mounted RX, it is a bit bulky to take with me away from home for 
DXpeditions, weekends in the mountains, vacations, etc.  If I take a 
tabletop with me, it is usually the 535.  I am looking for something a 
little more updated that can stand up to travel and has good performance.

  I've been looking at a few radios, and right now I am leaning towards the 
ICOM R-75.  I know from others who own this radio that it performs well on 
HF, but I haven't heard a lot about its MW performance.  I am also 
considering the new Icom PCR-1500 PC radio, but again I haven't heard a lot 
about how well it works on MW.

  I know radios are a subjective thing, but I would be interested in seeing 
what you guys have experienced - not necessarily theses models - but what 
you think is a good all-round tabletop MW performer.
