AM and FM radios are common, and cheap. Listening to shortwave s a
fussier and more fickle proposition. It actually takes some pro-active
effort to make shortwave listenable. Inferior radio sets will only
further exacerbate your quest for alternative programming. Money can
make it happen for you. The Kaito 1101 is the cheapest well-working
shortwave that I know of. Darren
