Thanks for the demonstration I have a National Panasonic DR -2800 that I bought in 1983 with a blue display. I still listen to it on medium wave (AM) as it drifts horribly on Short-wave since it was new. I also have a Sony 6800W and both use 6 D cells and have excellent battery life. Both are DX machines on MW but the Sony shines on shortwave reception. However the Sony was around $550 new where a I paid about $182 new at the ship’s store in Diego Garcia…military discount. 73!
I can see the same difference between my Panasonic DR26 (EU version of the 2600) and my Grundig Satellite 400 International...in favor to the Grundig. Greetings from Leeds (UK)
@@georgejaroslavsky5148 hello! One of my favorite rock albums - The Who, Live at Leeds. Give me some Magic Bus Baby! 100 English Pounds!! Thanks for your comments!
@@dieselten01 Talking about receivers, my recommendation: if you can find one....any Tandberg Huldra (I have the 12 circa 1979) , can be any but the transistorised ones are the 9, 10, 11 and 12. Is a hifi receiver/amplifier with the particularity to have long wave, medium wave, and shortwave (3-30 MHz divided in 3 segments) plus full FM 88-108...The sound is incredible. 73dx from Leeds from an Argentinian DXer

I always felt that my Panasonic radio were a notch above the Sonys I have owned!!!!
You have much to learn young grasshopper😊
Sony always made a better shortwave radio, my opinion...
