Run away from any Chinese radio junk and get the Sony 7600GR. You will not
be disappointed and it will work for many years.

Sorry for my naivete, but :

When I was a kid, a decent shortwave radio cost over $300.00, weighed
about 10 pounds and required a roof antenna.

Could I get a portable SW for under $100, and what could I expect for
this price? (I just want to listen).

Thanks.
