I have its little brother, also marketed as the "Reader's Digest" radio.

*************rest snipped**************

That 'Readers Digest' version, what year was it that they sold it or gave it
awat. {?}
Was it anygood?

I had a chance some years back and saw one and it looked impressive, with the
two seperate antennas pulled out. Overall, it looked like a great receiver,
never got to hear it, but I know I saw shortwave bands on it.

Thanks
