Cool. Let us know how you like it. I gave an FR-200 to my parents
some time ago, and later wished I'd kept it for myself. They've yet
to need it for "emergencies", but use it almost daily, and take it
with them on vacations, etc. The reception is pretty good for the
price, and it's held up well so far. If the FR-250 is as good a
value, you'll have fun with it.

I notice in the Passpost 2005 issue in one of the many Eton
advertising sections, there is one advertisement for a FR250...

Take a look at:

Apparently, it's only available at Restoration Hardware. I'd kinda
like to see one, myself.

Thanks! That's exactly the radio I was looking for. It's suppose to be
like an upgrade to the Grundig FR200, but the shortwave freq's are
broken down into 7 "bands" for better bandspread; plus you can charge
your cell phone battery(?). Anyway, I thought I'd give it a try.
Thanks again.
