I saw a Grundig pocket radio on sale at Rat Shack for $49 CAN.

I tried it, but it was a POS that couldn't even receive WWV :-\


Arnie Coro says the cheaper they are the more they benefit from an
antenna tuner. Course unless you build your own, thats gonna run you
another 50 bucks or more.

I have the Sony ICF-SW7600GR and payed 130 for it. Its arguably one of
the best small portables for the money. It picked up Radio Botswana,
Radio Orbita 3 (Russian 50kw) , and Radio Nigeria from Vermont last
night with just a short outside random wire.

Some of the cheaper Sangeans are also noted to be quite good and less
expensive.
