Ham Radio Outlet has Grundig s350 for 100 bucks. I am thinking to
buy
it for my young 11yo niece. She likes radios. I gave her a
Hallicrafters boatanchor tabletop but her daddy won't put up an
antenna.

Is that a good radio for 100 bucks?

It's got nice sound, but it's main drawback is that
it's a single conversion radio, so beware of images.
The more recent version seems to have fixed some
of the stability issues, which was another big
problem in years past.
