Hello there,

You have rec'd some good advice already.

For my two cents. If you are looking for a "hefty" portable with good
audio, I would suggest the GE Superadio III analog(about $50) or the
Grundig S-350 (about $90) which is an analog radio with a digital
display. The GE is AM/FM. The Grundig is an AM/FM/SW radio. These
both run on D cells for a long time.

If you are looking for a smaller travel size portable...I would go for
the Sony 7600GR as suggested already. AM/FM/SW (including upper and
lower sideband). The synch detector does help at times.

I would avoid the CCRadio. They have a nasty habit of losing the
display after about 1-2 years (see the Yahoo Group for details). I
have one (actually it is at C Crane getting the display repaired). I
think it is way overpriced for what it delivers.
