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.

It's double reduction, shirt pocket size..

But can it be run over by a dump truck with a full load and survive?

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.

Looks like a great size, but looking for a digital tuner. Thanks.
