Thanks Mike, I'll check it out.
What do you think of the Sony 7600GR?
What are the 5 most important things to look for in a shortwave radio?
I've been shopping around, but it's difficult to know what to look for.
I'm down here in wind torn Cape Coral, FL and I think I want a small battery
powered model, but I also want as many necessary features as possible.
During Charley we were without power for 5 days.
Thanks.

Not sure Don, but Sony are a good brand.

I suppose reliabilty, portability, selectivity, battery economy, solid
manufacture.

Hope you are OK now.

We're gearing up for Frances right now, will probably be here during the
night.
I was just outside watching the Feeder Bands over head, awesome.
