Quite a long list actually from cheapo little sets, DABs to Icom and Yaesu ham radio sets.
IC-735 is also excellent for broadcast DX listening .. 100 kHz to 30 MHz. http://www.rigpix.com/icom/ic735.htm These look quite good.. 5kHz to 3335 Mhz. Only about £9000 .. http://www.universal-radio.com/CATAL...rxvr/0095.html |

I have 4 of my own but have access to 6 in total, lol. Nothing fancy though.
Mine: Micro hi-fi: FM, MW, DAB Cassette/radio Walkman: FM, MW MP3 Walkman: FM. This radio is really good for its tiny size! My new mobile: FM My parents': Another micro hi-fi: FM, AM Car radio: FM, MW, LW I also sometimes used my mum's really old cassette player/radio that had FM, MW, LW and SW. Not sure if we've still got it; if we have, it's probably in the shed. |

I actually took this pic of my Intempo GX-01.
Also have a Sony XDR-S55, battery life is bloody awful. I rarely use my Roberts robi anymore though, mainly use the Internet Radio, or listen to Capital on my iPod Touch via WiFi. |

Got an Intempo DAB, use that most of the time, but has annoying habit of dropping out from BBC5Live. I have to select another channel, switch back and wait for it to retune. Aerial is at maximum extension.
Also got a Sony DAB Clock radio, reception good but not easy to switch stations (no preset buttons). Also listen to Freeview and Virgin Media stations through the TV. I prefer radio to TV much of the time. |

http://astore.amazon.co.uk/ukdabinfo...ail/B00009QH7X (that description relates to the DR201 though, so you might want to look here instead) It's a great little unit - after a couple of software updates anyway - and their customer support was fantastic. Sadly I don't think Perstel are around any more, but I will cherish my little DR101 until it decides to give up. ![]() I have loads of other radios, but that's my favourite. Chris |

I had to have a good clear out a few years back, so I got rid of all my lovely old valve radios
(women just don't appreciate loads of big WWll coms receivers or a nice B40 Receiver weighing 52kg - special offer buy one and get a free truss ) - I should have kept the radios and got rid of the XYL... All I have these days is in the list below:ICOM 706MII Kenwood TM-G707 Yaesu FRG-7 (Good old receiver after I did a few mods to it) Sony ICF-2001 York JCB863 (Ex CB modified for 10mtrs Ham Band) Pure Evoke-1 Grundig Satellit 1000 (I bought this in 1973) Grundig Satellit 500 (Used for FM dxing until the London pirates f****d up the hobby) Sony ICF403L (My favourite little analogue radio = Sony ICF404L) for £20 get one you'll love it) Selena 215 (What can I say!!!! It's Russian) Zenith Trans - Oceanic (Lovely old American Radio circa 1950's) |

Onkyo have a reputation for producing excellent FM DX tuners, and the T-4970 is probably the best one they ever did. |

For FM I use a Magnum Dynalab FT-101 with a 5 ele fixed beam in the loft
My main HF Radio is the Yaesu FT-2000D with an FT-847 and FT-897 mainly on VHF/UHF and an FT-817 and Sony ICF-SW100 for when portable. I've always found the Sony pretty deaf; it's OK for broadcast, but Amateur bands it's not particularly clever. I'm also hoping to do the mod for the FT-897 to receive DRM. If anyone is interested, mod is here One other area that I'm quite involved with (shameless plug for the group alert!) is the UKQRM group - www.ukqrm.org who are campaigning against interference caused to HF spectrum by PLT systems such as BT Vision. |
