The Fry's around here (Renton, WA) doesn't carry shortwave radios.

They did. Over in the components section between the batteries and
the wall of motherboards. Right front section of the store.

The first time I went there, a couple of weeks after they opened last
fall, they had a Grundig for about $150, but a big box computer store
in an industrial district is hardly a place to test it for DX capability.

They're pretty notorious for not restocking stuff, expecially if it
may not move off the shelves that fast.
