Hi,

I'm looking for a miniature shortwave receiver for use in central
europe. My criteria is:

Must be small and light
External antenna for improved reception
Digital tuning
Battery and AC power

Radio Shack DX-399, now discontinued. Still available as the Sangean
ATS-606. Small enough to fit in a coat pocket. The DX-399's most
interesting feature was the included dual-voltage power adapter that
could run on anything from 110 to 220 volts AC. It also came with the
Euro-type adapter for the plug. US, Europe - no matter. Radio
Netherlands says the power adapter for the ATS-606 is optional. Mabye
the Sangean power adapter runs on multiple voltages; I don't know. The
RS one definitely will.
