If you're in Canada and you want to buy a mini shortwave radio via mail
order, maybe you should consider giving a place like Durham Radio a call.
Have a look at the Kaito - http://www.durhamradio.com/wrx911.htm

I used to be a Grundig fan back in the 1970's, but I've so far had rotten
luck with the cheap junk that carries the Grundig name these days. Even
buying brand spanking new, you're lucky to get one good unit out of 3.

Here in Canada the Hudson's Bay Company sells Grundig
radios through their mail order outlet. I just got in the mail
today an ad for the Grundig Mini 300. It is slightly larger
than the Mini World 100PE, which I have and really like.
The size of the Mini 300 (in inches) is 2.5 x 6.5 x 0.9.

The 300 seems to have analog tuning with a digital readout,
like the S350. It has no keypad entry and no memories, but
does have a clock and alarm. It has AM, FM and 7 shortwave
bands. The antenna is telescopic, but does not collapse
completely into the radio case; when collapsed, it sticks upward
a couple of inches from the top left of the radio, so that
the radio has the appearance of a cordless phone or GPS unit.

The radio is available in several colours. It's nice to have a break
from the ubiquitous silver cases we see everywhere now. The colours
are red, white, blue, yellow and dark brown ("bronze"). The radio
takes 2 AA cells, and costs $ 49.98 Cdn.
