Default cheap, small shortwave radio

Thanks guys. Big help! My friend bought a really cheap Chinese one
making a visa run into Burma I think. Paid $10 and it picks up the BBC
throughout SE Asia quite well, though it's boxey. He says the BBC (if
I understand him) switch the channel they operate on quite frequently
though, so it's a bit of searching (or maybe he's referring to local
countries that carry the program on different frequencies). But he's
retired and has plenty of time. His radio is probably useless to pick
up things like classical music from Europe though.

You may get it definitely in SE Asia (Hongkong etc.).

Newbie here. I travel constantly throughout SE Asia, and would like a
light small s/w radio to keep up with the BBC (and ideally: classical
music broadcasts from Europe). I'd like to pay $50 or less. (less is
better. Easy tuning (presets) would be a nice plus.
