I want to get a small shortwave radio, that I can use like a walkman.
I was looking at the Grundig Mini 300PE for the price at my local
radio shack, which is only $30. I notice it had no SSB but I really
don't need SSB, at least not for a walkman type, but if there is SSB
for a portable, I guess I will take it. Should I go with this portable
or no?

I want a nice cheaper radio, under $50, that I can listen to FM, AM,
and SW. I like Radio Habana Cuba, and want to listen to other stations
also. I want a digital readout of what frequency I am on, not 100%
analog, because then I can't see clearly what frequency I am on.

Should I go with this radio, or would there be a better choice that
covers more frequencies, as it looks like the Grundig covers 7 bands.


Got to be the Degen DE1105

size and price ..

Is that radio discontinued or something? I can't hardly find it
anywhere. It seems to only be on eBay.

Yep; It's only available on Ebay with Paypal.

Liypn is a very reliable dealer..

PLL Double reduction, 1,000 memories; It's the best of the bunch,
IMHO .. .

But

this one, Kaito KA11, looks Very Similar . .

http://www.radiointel.com/review-kaitoka11.htm

.. and is available from Universal Radio

http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...able/0011.html

Neither of these are DX Boxes, but if you hook up an external
antenna ; you can really pull in reasonably clear signals from all
over the world..

& off the whip performance is quite remarkable

The cheaper ones are non-digital, no memories and won't compare side
by side

I have 4 of those Grundig 300's 'cause they're excellent!
