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."

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



If he is 12 yo, and into technology then he is also probably into
computers and has his own PC, right? If so, then he is just like my 14
yo son.

I have never seen him so excited about a high tech toy until I got him
the WinRadio G303i PC-based radio. It's so cool that it really brought
the family together, my wife loves it too! :-)

See http://www.winradio.com/home/g303i.htm . The performance is
incredible and the software is a real joy to use. I really can't fault
this product.

Ten Tec makes a better one and it's cheaper.
