As far as the PL-550 goes.... I think it is the least selective of
the three. It doesn't have glairing problems with this, but it
doesn't cut it as well as the 7600gr and the KA-1102.

How good is the PL-550 on MW? I have a Tecsun PL-230 which is a cool
looking radio that works great on SW but the MW performance is very poor.
I'm in NYC and can hear an AM station from Ohio on the Kaito and even
better with the Sony. With the Tecsun I even have trouble with one local am
station that comes in noisy but perfect on the Kaito and Sony.

I also don't like the Sony display since its hard to view at an angle. The
Kaito display is much better and includes so much more information. The
Sony doesn't even have a battery charge indicator so you never know how
much you have left. Even very cheap radios have that, but you can't argue
about the quality of the Sony and the reception.
