Ramapriya,

You wrote "I have Japanese business friends
who keep flying in from there all the time"

Think creatively USA to Japan & Japan to You ;-}

Question - Do your Japanese business friends go
to Hong Kong and/or China on Business Trips ?

FWIW - The Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium Radio
was sold in China as the Tecsun HAM-2000 Radio.

Many 'things' can be Found in the Electronics {Radio}
Shops in Hong Kong and other Asian Cities.

SEARCH eBay -for- Grundig Satellit 800
http://search.ebay.com/grundig+satellit+800

TIP - Check the Universal Radio Used & Demo Equipment
List for any Grundig Satellit 800 Radios on it.

For that extra Sound Dynamic add a Pair of Powered
Stereo Speakers for FM Stereo Sound

Note - The Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium Radio
already has a Mega-Sized Whip Antenna with a
built-in PreAmplifier {It's and Active Antenna}

=IF= You are in a Noisy Urban setting and are 'limited'
for Space for a larger and longer Outside Wire Antenna :
Then consider the Wellbrook ALA1530 Active Loop
Antenna for Long Wave, AM Medium Wave and Shortwave
Radio Reception
