I've had a Sangean ATS-803A (99% same as a RadioShack DX-440) since late '88-89. Pretty nice radio with direct freq entry, ssb reception possible with the BFO, wide-narrow bandwidth, and separate bass and treble controls. Pretty powerful audio for a portable. Should be able to find a good one these days at a reasonable price.

I owned one of those Sangean 808's as well.
I forgot the model number. That was an excellent radio.

 Does the rotary tuning control work OK on it? Mine had gotten a little flakey sometimes jumping off frequency by itself, sometimes not responding quite right when tuned. I took the back off and shot a bit of DeOxit into the rotary encoder switch which is the tuning control. Fixed it right up!

My go to SW radio is my Kenwood R-5000 W/VC-20 VHF converter. Have a Sony ICF 6800w (white label), A SX-25 W PM23 speaker, and a capart R-390A, At work. The Kenwood is by far the best. Ease of use, function, and has @ least some support, (yahoo groups) dave
