If I was going to spend about $400.00 to about $500.00 for an American
made table model Shortwave Radio,what would be the best choice for me? I
am not interested in Chinese made radios at all.

The only one I know of is a used Drake R8 and it is a fantastic radio IMO.
This would fit right in to your price and if you're careful you will be VERY
happy.

Ten-tec?

A PC controlled radio that is well within your budget is considered
excellent -- the RX-320.

A kit, self-contained radio that's kinda so-so is available for $200.

If you want to avoid Chinese, consider PC controlled WinRadios from
Australia. The G-303 and G-313 are excellent.

Used Lowes from England...

And, of course, used Drakes.
