This may help change your mind about small radios. It can be plugged

Something I find confusing - There seems to be the G6 and the G6 Buzz
Aldrin
Edition. Just looking on amazon.com, the G6 without Buzz Aldrin says it
includes longwave 150-500 Khz and SSB. The $70. Buzz Aldrin does not
say that, only lists BC, SW, FM and aviation, but there is a Buzz Aldrin
with a battery charger that says it does include LW and SSB. So are there
two different G6 radios, or is the only difference the name on the case?



I'd avoid any audio gear with a word like "buzz" in the name. Also
"rattle" and "squeak".
