Any recommendations for a sw radio with good sound for outside use?
Save your money. Shortwave is dead. Nothing to listen to. Go buy an XM,
DRM, or HD radio.

Hi everyone. I'm in need of a shortwave radio that I could use outside that
has a large enough speaker with clear sound to be heard from 20 feet away or
more. I have been using an old Zenith Royal 3000 but i have lost the knob
to change the bands, plus it has seen better days and is in terrible
condition, though suitable for when I am doing yardwork, shopwork, etc. I
was wondering if there are any newer radios out there that have comparable
sound quality to the Royal 3000 (grundig s-350, et. al??) or if I should try
to find a knob somewhere and stick with the oldie until it dies?
I know durability is an issue as well, since nothing built recently can
compare with the 3000 but I can accept that just as long as the radio is
large enough so I don't accidentally step on it, forget it, etc.
