You may want to consider a Grundig YB-400PE. It has better AM sound than
most portables and good sensitivity. Its a little weak on SSB, but with an
R75 available you probably don't care. The YB-400 is on Amazon right now
for $127.49 / free shipping.

I already own an Icom IC-R75 radio. It's fine for LSB. I am thinking
of buying a portable for AM listening. Are these the best portables
for my purpose? I don't want a big radio. The Sony SW77 is nearly $500
but the Sangean Super ATS-909 is about $330. These are what I'm
considering. Are these good choices? Is there something better? $500
seems a lot for a portable. Is it the best? Can someone help? I
understand that the Grundig is huge. I don't want to break my arm or
my back but I want something that sounds better than my Icom for AM. I
want to collect QSL cards.
