If Doug Could Have Only One Analog Radio Powerhouse, He'd Keep His Panasonic RF-2200

 

I have a Grundig S350DL, a Sony Earth Orbiter, and a Panasonic RF-2200. If I could keep only one, I would instantly pick the 2200, a magnificent radio with the best audio and strongest reception of the 3. Ditto selectivity and sensitivity and shortwave reception off the whip. I love the military look and heft and controls layout of the 2200 and the rotating gyro AM antenna makes DXing a delight. 

The Sony is also an excellent radio but it just really (for me) isn't up to the performance levels of the 2200 on any of the bands. The 350 is good value for the money, solid audio and excellent SW off the whip, but it's just not up to the other 2 in build quality. Be patient and you can score a solid specimen on eBay for under $200.

I still miss my RF-2200!
