Better not say that too loudly!
There are plenty that believe that the finest radios ever made were made in America 50 (or so) years ago, and that anything "modern" or "offshore" or "digital" is pure garbage! Sorry, that is just not the case.
Now, I indeed love my small collection of "boat-anchor" radios, which includes a R-390a, SP-600 and products from Hallicrafters, National and others, but most of the time for dxing I use a Sony XDR-F1HD (China) for FM and an ICOM IC-8500 (Japan) for everything else.
