Eton E5 - very nice small portable. Consider also the Sony ICF-760GR.

Sangean ATS818 - best for the money. Can be had on eBay for around $75 or
less. Larger radio than the E5, excellent sound, great ergonomics. A real
favorite of most who have one. Get the 818, not the 818CS which contains a
cassette recorder and has a smaller speaker.

Sangean 909 - worst for the money. Most reviewers don't like it, for the
money spent. A good radio, but too pricey for the performance.

Sony SW77 - the best radio of the bunch, but also most expensive.
