GE SuperRadio with shortwave?
 

In terms of listening to NPR on FM, the GE SuperRadio sounds like what
I'd like. It's the right size not to slide between my desk and the
wall, apparently has a big enough speaker for good audio quality, has
an AC power cord instead of a DC converter (I won't use it on
batteries), and is reasonably priced. But I'm curious about shortwave
broadcasts and would like that capability too. What would be the
closest approximation of the GE's virtues with the added benefit of
decent shortwave reception?

The Grundig S-350.

Very good sound (not quite as good as the SuperRadio, but better than most
portables). Excellent MW/AM reception (better than the SRIII, in my
experience). Decent on shortwave, but boy does it drift.

That's my $.02.
