What are some export radios with excellent receivers in them?

[kc0bus]

Hi,
I'm having a hard time hearing stations that CBer's who are local to me have no difficulty at all hearing. I have been using a stock CB radio, but I'm starting to think my radio is a bit deaf, and I'm thinking of possibly buying and trying my first Export radio to see if that helps to improve my receiving ability any. Are there any Export radios that are currently available new (or used) that have particularly good receivers in them that I could try out?
Thanks

Most HF (including CB) receive problems are caused by local noise issues. Are you sure that's not the problem?

Stryker SR-447HPC2 has a great RX, and you can adjust the bass and treble to your liking which if done properly can reduce the static noise floor. At least that’s my experience....

I'm surprised that nobody has asked the big questions. What antenna do you have? How high is it/ Is it in the clear? What Coax and length do you have?

I think it would be great getting a new radio with the best receive, but the antenna system is probably 90 percent of it. I would hate for you to spend that kind of money to find out that you are still having issues.

Around my area some guys have crappy receive (What level is your background noise?) because of the poor quality transformers in their neighborhood. In my case I have a hard time hearing the city 10 miles away because the signal has to go through the big high transmission lines. It's easier for me to hear stations in the other direction. Everyone kept saying to go up even higher, but based on my experience and calculations the higher I went the worse it got and I would have to be 200 feet high to get over them. My best move was replacing my IMax 2000 with a Penetrator 500 which really helped,, turns out fiberglass antennas are called noise sticks for a reason.
