SMITTY,

$100 Beginner 'portable' Radio for Shortwave Listening (SWL)
or AM/MW Boradcast Listening (BCL)

For 'portable' {Carry-a-Round} Shortwave Listening (SWL)
the Redsun RP-2100 would be my choice in the under
$100 range for a basic Radio with performance and sound.

IMHO - The Redsun RP-2100 is as good as any of the
GE Superadios and better than the C.Crane CCRadioPlus
with Kiwa Mods. Plus the Redsun RP2100 when the
Extra-Step that the Grundig S350 and Grundig S350 DL
-aka- Tecsun BCL-2000 & BCL-3000 did not go.

Looking for an Earphone Jack - It's There !
The Redsun RP2100 Radio offers FM Stereo
via the Earphone Jack -and- also features a
Pair of Line-Outs for external Left-&-Right
Computer type Powered Speakers.

For Distant FM Radio reception the Redsun RP2100 has
a separate External FM Antenna Input. And -if- Distant
FM Radio reception is your goal then this is a must-have
feature. Which means you-got-to-have an External FM
Antenna to Hear-what-you-want-to-Hear from afar.

Plus there is also a separate External AM/MW Antenna
Input : Should AM/MW DXing become an area of personal
interest. Here a medium size 14" ~ 18" Box AM/MW
Loop Antenna can make this Radio 'come alive' on the
AM/MW Band.

Any yes there is the mystery and wonder of Shortwave
Radio to be explored with the Redsun RP2100 Radio.
