about to jump in short-wave listing and I keep seeing this radio pop up all
the time! So would this be a good radio to start with, I see circuit city
has it for $99 with a free back power failure radio($29.00 value). Also I
like talk radio on am stations .. any help would be most appreciated...

thanks Terry



It's a great radio for AM (MW), not as good as some other portables
for SW. Get something else if you have more than a passing interest
in shortwave reception.
