My dad likes to listen to BBC broadcasts on his old sw radio...but it
has died. Looking to buy him one for xmas but I have no idea what to
look for. If you were in my shoes what would you be looking for? I
guess it will be in the under $200 range but of course cheaper is
better for the budget. He's just an occassional listener...not a die
hard by any means! I've seen some posts suggesting the dx-440? Any
help will be appreciated!


You should post your questions in rec.radio.shortwave, but watch out for
the douche bag.
