Does someone know a good multiband receiver (esp. SW)?
I want to buy a multiband-receiver but I don't know what to pay attention for. Can someone help me with that?

First of all, do you know how much you want to spend? At least in the US, prices can vary from $99. to $8000......
That doesn't really matter as long as this thing can do what I want it to do.
Second, do you expect to use an external antenna?
I read somewhere that an active external antenna can improve your receiving possibilities on a high rate, but I still don't know that much about it. So maybe I should keep that as a future possibility.
Third, are you going to be listening in very crowded radio bands?
Don't know (at the moment I only have access to MW, which is very crowded on some frequencies while on others its not).
Fourth, do you want it for portable use, or fixed use?
Portable! Maybe also a car radio...
The following site seems to have a fairly comprehensive listing along with feedback:
Just be aware that not all receivers listed are currently in production. Kenwood, Icom, and Yaesu are all serious radio manufacturers. AOR supposedly makes some decent equipment too.
Some companies, like Hammarlund and Hallicrafters, haven't existed in decades.
