He was playing with an old radio shack dx-100 that's in the wood shop
the other day and said "This is really neat. I want a shortwave
radio."


Degen 1103, despite having the ssb support, he can get an idea of the
shortwave broadcast bands from the faux-analog screen.

Or you could go with the S350/BCL-2000, it being analog but having a
digital frequency counter, so that he can see if it drifts slightly and
move it back. It also has fun knobs (gain, treble, bass) to play with.

You can have either radio shipped from lipyn on E-bay in 7-10 days, or you
can get the S-350 at Radio Shack right away.
