I can see buying a very sophisticated radio for someone experienced in other SW
receivers;
- Or for a 40 something SW Afficionado..

- But as a first time SW gift, for a 12 year old, the Grundig S350 is ( IMHO)
the one to get.
-Good sound, Lots of knobs,
Digital display
, fairly big, hence more rugged than something smaller,
Probably somewhat waterproof..
Looks cool just sitting there..

Hello,

I see many people are recommending the Grundig S350. I personally
wouldn't buy that radio due to the drifting problem and no memories. I
think a child deserves better.

The 350 is cheapo plastic China radio. Not something your 12yr old
will appreciate when looking back at his childhood. It feels like a
toy and he/she will think so and treat is as such. Buy an older radio
on Ebay. Try a Satellit 500. Has a handle so the kid can carry it
around and it's simple to use. And - he'll know quality - just like
his pa.

Regards
