Radio Shack has many but with a maximum of 5 bands? We don't want to shell
out more than $100. Is that possible? Oh, I should also say that our
success with used products is not very good. So, we should buy new.

Thanks for any advice that you may have.

Check out the DEGEN DE1102 also called the KAITI KA1102. The most bang
for the buck of any sub $100.00 radio I have seen ( I also own it ). I
purchased mine a couple of weeks ago on EBAY for $50.00.
