Given that I have several dozen portable radios, it's hard to determine which one I use the most. Currently, the crown would probably go to the Grundig Transistor 5000, aka the Satellit 205 (the first radio in the Satellit series, which they made for over 40 years, and are still being made). Second rung down would probably be my Grundig Satellit 700 (ironically, the last true Satellit model made; the current radios are made by a different company), with the Zenith Trans-Oceanic Royal D7000Y close behind. I recently picked up a Philco T9-126 "Trans-World", their answer to the solid-state Zenith Trans-Oceanic models. It needs work, but should be an excellent performer once fixed up.
