I have a Sony 2010 that is absolutely great but I do not listen to
shortwave. I want to a small portable AM/FM with good sound and
various buttons, ie: timer, presets, etc. Any suggestions ?

My GE SuperRadio III has a handle; takes batteries; has the best sound
system of any of my portables -- kind of a monaural am-fm boombox. Has
a woofer and a separate tweeter with tone controls. Only about $37 at
Amazon.com

For more bells and whistles, knobs & buttons, try the CCrane web site;
they have about the best selection of better am-fm's that I've seen.
Not cheap, tho'
