Default Radio Help Needed

forgot to mention that you can get the Redsun RP2100 on eBay from two
sellers, recommended one is tqchina.
The Kaito2100 should be available from:

Also, I regularly pick up Honolulu on SW and that's a distance of 11,000
miles.

TIA
I am looking for a table sized clock radio with an earphone jack. I
have spent many hours researching with my limited knowledge, for the
right radio and just realised there was your newsgroup. I know
newsgroup people are passionate about their stuff. I would be
willing to trade your knowledge for anything you ever wanted to know
about Kona Coffee or farming in Hawaii etc.

This is what I want and I need your help because I am a farmer and not
a radio guru. I want a radio cappable of getting an FM station from
93 miles away (the closest NPR station I have) and I live in a remote
rural area with mountains and valleys. I have looked at Sangean,
Eton, Tivoli, Boston etc. but I can not make my decision. I am
willing to spend up to $200.

Can you make me any recommendations? I honestly don't know if I need
a short wave even. Sorry.

Again thanking you in advance for any information you can give me or
for a direction you can steer me in.

aloha,
beans
