Default Portatop with a tuning knob

Hi,

Since I bought my first shortwave radio (a cheapy Rat Shack) many
moons ago agos, I've become quite used to tuning in stations using a
knob.

What medium-priced portatop -- not el cheapo or super expenso --
receivers allow tuning with a knob?

Thans,

RivaScoot


The best one is the Drake SW8. It's out of production but can be found
on the used market for about $450. It has a handle and can be powered by
internal 'D' batteries in addition to an AC adapter. The later version
(starting with 1996) is the best choice because of the improved sync'
detector.
