The Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium is a fine radio. Not too complicated,
pretty darned big, and I bought mine brand new on sale for less than
$400.00.

If you're interested, scour the web, and eBay. You might be able to nab it
for less than $300.00.

Hope this helps a tad, at least...

My Dad who was a radio man in WWII enjoys his shortwave at bedside.
The following are criteria-
LARGE dials and easier to read, not too complicated
No need for FM quality or super sound system
Had a radio shack I bought years ago and it worked OK until broke
High quality for the money
Price point up to 300 dollars?

I do not know a lot about these radios so any suggestions for radios would
be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks

Tom
