All these seem like good choices. I'd only add the Grundig Mini World
100 PE to the list. ($30 @ Radio Shack, analog, pocket size, decent for
the price and size).

About the Degen 1103. . . Not sure. . . Isn't that the one Bro. Stair
"gives away" - for an $80 offering. If you're in need of a tax
deduction you might consider that. You'd have no sales tax on it. You
CAN'T say you want to BUY or ORDER the radio. You have to tell him you
are sending an OFFERING and then REQUEST the radio if he still has them
available. This way he avoids paying state sales tax on it as well. I
don't know what other benefits he has except to possibly be exempt from
some kind of sales tax audit. He is very adamant about the wording of
the request, but you can get a tax break from it - if needed.

That DX-440 is a good cheap set too used.
