Jay: I had another thought. I take it you are in Canada(as I am).
Go to the Durham Radio website and check out the Kaito WRX 911. It is
a tiny analog radio that has garnered good reviews for $40. Shipping
would be about $12 plus GST.
Secondly , take a look at the Kaito 1101 at $80. By all reports
this radio will blow the doors off all three of the ones you are
looking at. This will cost a bit more than the DX 342 but it has two
bandwidths, tone control, AC adapter, built in battery recharger for
the included 3 AA NiMh batteries.
There is no need to get along with a radio that went out of
production 10 years ago. Go for the modern digitally tuned. It will
serve you much better in the long run.
Regards again
Bob

Also, FYI the DX-342 is $79.99 CDN, and The DX-351 is $49.99 CDN

Is the 342 that much better in reception and build quality that is
warrants the extra 30 dollars?

Thanks, Jay
