(I know the dx-100 is a piece of junk.)

When I was a kid the neat thing was turning the knob slowly on the am tube
radio that glowed beside the bed, volume up, listening to signals coming out
of the crackles. Um, that's still neat.

But today sw is better because you can get a radio that won't drift.

So -

If there is a digital radio that tuned like an analog one - not just the
knob, but the SOUND; and it was not too big, and not too much $, and not too
complicated - no ssb, no sync det, etcetera - well then, I'd like to know
about it. 12th birthday is in two weeks.

Grundig S350. I like it, and it looks like a great kid's radio.
