Have a friend who listens to tape delayed BBC broadcasts on local FM
station. Would like to get him an inexpensive ($100 or less) shortwave
radio so he can hear the real deal live. He won't install a secondary
antenna, so a unit with a good antenna is a must. Digital tuning (ie, the
ability to see the frequency) would be nice, too. He is in northern Indiana,
USA. Thanks for any tips/advice.


XM has a delightful little unit for under $50. Rig up a 12 Vdc
adapter and a pair of powered speakers and you'll have the BBC World
Service 24/7/365, in HiFi sound, for under $100.

There is $13/month fee, but they also have lots of music and stuff.
