If you're happy with the wind-up Grundig audio and like the CCR, you
may want to check out a Sangean ATS-505. It is very similar to the
CCR in ''style''. Most Sangeans have very good MW performance.

I would avoid the Sony 2010, based on my personal experience. They
are somewhat quirky and sound pretty flat.

I live near New Orleans. A couple of months ago, to prepare for hurricane
season, I bought the "wind-up" Grundig FR-200 at the local Radio Shack.

I used a set of headphones from my Walkman with it, and have really enjoyed
listening to the High and Low shortwave bands (no SSB, though). I'm
hooked -- I really enjoy scrolling through those bands.

So, right now there are two radios on my nightstand (the Grundig FR-200 and
a Sangean CCRadio Plus) which is one too many. The CCR+ has AM/FM/WX/TV (I
couldn't care less for TV sound on a radio). The FR-200 has
AM/FM/SW-Low/SW-High. Both radios are amazingly good quality units, and the
$40 Grundig gets almost as good AM signals as the $160 CCR+, but the "slide
rule" analog tuning skewed to lower AM frequencies can't compare with the
completely even-scaled digital tuning of the CCR+ for finding stations
quickly (especially in higher AM ranges).

I'd like to have the AM/FM quality (including the amazingly good digital
tuning system) of the CCRadio Plus with a good shortwave receiver (this time
with SSB) in one unit.

What do you folks suggest? Would a Sangean ATS-909 be what I'm looking for,
or what? The budget is $300 or less.

Thanks,

Avoind the 2010? That's the first I've ever heard that.
