Default Good radio?

Can anyone recomment a modern decently-priced reasonably-sensitive SW
reciever? The Lafayette will pick up FM and AM stations that my modern
boom-boxes and clock radios won't. I'd settle for a radio that would just
reliably pick up faint AM and FM standard broadcast stations.

TIA


Kaito is the only brand doing anything, as near as I can tell, unless
you want to spend many hundreds for a "tabletop" radio. Not everything
Kaito makes is a winner, so do your homework. Radio Shack might have
something decent on the closeout table.
