My I make a suggestion?

If you do send a radio to a soldier, make is combo power radio.
I.E.: Solar, battery, crank up, ac radio. I have one and have never put
a battery in it nor have I ever connected it to ac.

Sending someone a scanner or shortwave radio might make you feel warm and
fuzzy inside, but unless the solider in question spoke the enemy's language,
I think it would only be useful to hear what the BBC says s.

During those infrequent stretches when the soldiers, sailors, airmen,
and Marines have a little free time, they might find Radio Farda or
Radio Sawa fun to listen to. I think they're a hoot.
