As mentioned, mine is the "prison" radio and not so freely available,
but I got mine given to me by kind friends in the U.S.

JP-

Ha ha! = very funny - Noel the fella's that gave me the "prison" radio
have never seen the inside of one - all gold standard US citizens.

"The SRF-39FP is no longer in production, but it does regularly show
up on eBay from a cagey Florida seller, who always seems to put out
new stock after insisting that his supply is gone. The price is
generally $19.95 plus shipping, and represents a true bargain for DX
enthusiasts wanting the best performing analog showpiece in the
Ultralight radio stable."

There's an excellent overview of these little radio's at:

Personnally I favour a digital ultralight, but i must admit the little
analogue SRF-39 is fun and very challenging. Delivers the goods
though.

Have you looked at the free accounts on teranews or giganews? Use real
newsreaders and not have to wade through all the carp in Google Groups..

Brenda Ann- what do you mean by "wade through" etc.? Maybe I am wading
through and don't know it. ;-) Is teranews and giganews free? I
remember checking for newsgroup readers three years ago but I just
wasn't going to pay for something that is provided for free.

Both have a free level of service. These are usenet providers, not readers.
I use Outlook Express, and have no problems. I believe Mozilla also has a
newsreader that would be free, as do several others.

John, I have used Free Agent for years (at least 10).
www.forteinc.com. I've just checked their website and see that they
have now "retired" this free reader in favour of the commercial
release which is $29. there are free trail versions or i could send
you the installer for the free package - 9Meg.
