Found a review here. I first started with a Radio Shack DX-398, you can
still find those on EBay also, I sold mine about a year ago for $125.00
and loved it, wished now I didnt sell it.

Howdy!

I like the idea of listening to broadcasts from around the world, and
would like to give SW listening a try. Don't want to spend a lot of
money unless I know I'm gonna like it, so initially looking to get in
cheap. If I find SW is kinda good, then I'll splash out for something
more serious.

Stumbled across the Kchibo 979 on ebay. Looks alright to me, but just
wondering if anyone has any thoughts as to whether or not this will
suit my purpose?

Or maybe someone might have a thought to some other suitable (and
suitably cheap!) models?

Oh, I'm from Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia - if my location is a
factor....
