If you scroll down on the first link, there is a section on portables.
The Panasonic is no longer made. The Yacht Boy 400 is still in
production and the Satellit 700 is now the 800 but these should give
you idea as to who manufactures the best FM portable.

This web site lists some of the best portable fm receivers:

I have found the best fm stereo dx setup to be a combination of a
small rooftop antenna with rotor and a stand alone FM tuner like the
Denon TU1500.

I should have put portable in the subject header!

I'm also thinking in terms of the worldband portable as well!

What resonated with me, is the idea that FM performance of many of your PLL
portables, worldband or not, cannot even match a late 1960's Grundig.
