I'm a casual listener-- mainly english international news such as China
Radio International, etc., but i'm just getting started and dig the
hobby. i am aware all this stuff is on the web but i like tuning it in
on the radio-- there is just no substitute for that imo.

Which of the following would you recommend:

eton e1
sony 7600gr
sony icf-sw07

i know there are big price differences -- i'm wondering if the e1 is
worth the extra money for the type of listening i do. sw07 is very
gizmo-ish. 7600gr gets nothing but praise.

what do you think? thanks.
