Or if he want to spend less money, but still get a decent radio, but

He didn't mention price.


Exactly! That's why I said that if he has the money, go with the
Sonys. The reason I mentioned the Degen DE11/ Kaito KA11, was to make
him aware of that radio. I saw no reason not to let him know about it.
I figure the more info he has, the better. Then he can make his own
mind up. Have no fear... the extra info is free. No Charge!. Read my
posts a little more carefully.

Agreed, the SONYs are probably the best. I love my SW100, it's an
amazing radio
for it's size. However, it's battery life is mediocre at best. The
SW07 is a bit easier
on batteries and has a bit better reception and synch detector, but
for some
reason I like the SW100 better. It's a cool radio.

A word of caution ... on earlier production runs of the SW100, the
ribbon cable
connecting the 2 clamshells tended to break under the constant stress
of opening
and closing the clamshell. Make sure you get a later version with a
more robust
cable .. perhaps someone in RRSW can tell you how to identify a later
version.

I have a small Eton 100 which has been reliable and has all the
features. It is also inexpensive (about $60). It's worth a look.

We have the cure. It's best seen in a fixed pitch (mono spaced) font.
Feel free to use as required.

Some people just have nothing else inside them to share on Usenet other
than BS. Pretty sad state of affairs for them.

I have a 606A and can recommend it ;

It is not shock proof

- not water proof
Full coverage
works nicely with an external antenna;

Still a very good buy

I tolerate the Bush lover's postings as well as the next guy does.
Calling it BS may be a bit harsh. it IS a democracy, after all, and they
have every right to express their views.

Most people will recommend the Sony ICF-7600GR. I would say also look at
the Grundig G5. Both are around $150.

Thank you for the two suggestions. I was also recommended Sangean
ATS-606AP or the Kaito KA1101 by Universal Radio.
