You got good advice for a CC Radio SW, and there is also the cheaper
Kaito KA2100, all of which are the same as the Redsun RP2100. A superb
performer on FM.
See:http://www.universal-radio.com/catal...able/2100.html

Universal also do a range of FM antenna's, but I don't have any
experience with those. Have a look at:http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/mwant.html
You need to see that the connectors on these devices match the FM
radio you have in mind.

Good reception

I would like to buy a portable shortwave radio with a whip antenna but I've
been holding back because I live in an area that gets mediocre reception on
my Sony reciever's FM tuner from stations 20 miles away; so I'm really
paranoid about buying a portable shortwave radio. My homeowners association
doesn't permit outside antennas. Here are several questions:

1. Can someone recommend a portable shortwave radio for under $200US that
works well.?
2. Can I attach an indoor antenna to improve reception? What brand of
antenna?
3. I've tried several indoor antennas from Radio Shack to improve my FM
reception and none did anything. Can someone recommend a really powerful FM
indoor antenna?

Thanks in advance.

IMHO - This 'appears-to-be' a Redsun RP2100 Radio that
has been Re-Branded with the "Silicon Scientific" Name.
