As mentioned, mine is the "prison" radio and not so freely available,
but I got mine given to me by kind friends in the U.S.
JP-

Ha ha! = very funny - Noel the fella's that gave me the "prison" radio
have never seen the inside of one - all gold standard US citizens.
Gary de Bock wrote in his review:
"The SRF-39FP is no longer in production, but it does regularly show
up on eBay from a cagey Florida seller, who always seems to put out
new stock after insisting that his supply is gone. The price is
generally $19.95 plus shipping, and represents a true bargain for DX
enthusiasts wanting the best performing analog showpiece in the
Ultralight radio stable."

There's an excellent overview of these little radio's at:

Personnally I favour a digital ultralight, but i must admit the little
analogue SRF-39 is fun and very challenging. Delivers the goods
though.

Google.
