My Tecsun PL-200 has taken a beating and is due for a replacement.
Should I buy another one or look at another model. I've not been
looking for a year and don't know what portables hae come to market
i n the past year.

The only fault I can find with the PL-200 is lack of a connector for
an external wire antenna (and ground, I guess) and the night light
should stay on as long as I'm playing with the buttons.

The size is fine. A little larger wouldn't be a problem if it gets
me something.

Suggestions ?

Thanks.

Don't blame me. I voted for Gore.

Looking over 2006 passport, both Eton E100 and Degen DE1105 get 2 1/2
stars..

would probably go with the Degen DE1105, as it has double reduction in
the same size
package, and 1,000 memories, which would be interesting to use if you
travel about.

The 1105 shortwave coverage is much smaller than the pl200.
