2. AM/FM/Shortwave freqs
3. About the size of a sony 7600gr or smaller
4. Power requirements: Four AA or less

There are many low cost (less than $50) digital readout receivers now.
It hardly pays to buy an analog model in this price range which will
almost certainly disappoint you.

I will be honest that I was about to say Hammarlund HQ-180A,
until I read the part about "AM/FM/Shortwave freqs".

In order of preference:
1) Degen 1103 (simulated analog display w/digital readout)
2) Sony ICF-SW40 (decent radio)
3) Sony ICF-SW11 (best of the low end - IMO)

If you change your mind about analog may I suggest the
Sony ICF-SW35. It is a Dual-Conversion receiver and the digital controls
are excellent. The audio is pretty nice and 3 AA batteries will last for
about 40 hours. Looks nice but most of all it is a Sony, IT WORKS!

Hi,
May I sugest the Grudig Mini-World100PE

It meets all the criteria, and isquite sensitive on its whip.
Battery life is exceptionally good and comes complete
with carry pouch,earbuds and even 2 AA batteries.
I bought mine from J & R Misic for under $30.00
including shipping. I undersyand Radioshack carries
this also,

Charlie

I have the Grundig Mini also. It works
much better with 15 ft of thin wire attached
to the antenna. Batteries do last a very
long time. Use headphones for best sound.
It is about the size of a pack of cigarettes.
Hard to go wrong for $30.
