Eton Sattelit 750 all-mode radio receiver. This is one of the best portable shortwave receivers (according to most reviews) and until I recently upgraded to a "professional grade" communications receiver I used it daily to listen to "Ham" stations all around the world. This radio is made by Tecsun but also appears under various other names such as Eton, Grundig and a few others.....they're all made by Tecsun. Using just a 22-feet-long (6.7metres) indoor wire attached to the built-in telescopic whip antenna I've listened to stations as far away as Japan, Siberia, USA, Canada, Brazil, Australia and Clipperton Island (Eastern Pacific ocean).
