I purchased a Tecsun BCL 3000 last fall which is much the same as the Eton
350 Deluxe except it has a smaller speaker. I'm very happy with it,
although it's used more for AM DX. It's compact enough to leave on the
kitchen table and it gets used daily.

Today I saw the red Eton 350 Deluxe model on sale at The Source for $129 CDN
and the Grundig 350 selling for $99 CDN.

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?

I recently picked up a red Eton S350DL (which appears to be an
upgraded version of the Grundig S350) on ebay for $110.79 total,
including shipping. There's one even now (item # 5863040259) listed
at $114.99 plus $12.99 shipping. They list at about $150.00.

Thanks everybody for comments. I will probably change my mind ten
times before I eventually buy anything. Seems like the Degen might be
a likely candidate.

I found a pdf file from Phil that you might like to take a look at.

It's called "Phil's Portable radio guide" and has the kind of info to
make a decision. You will be surprised what he finds to be the best
radios. Maybe you will just have to buy another radio after reading
this.

If you was planning on at first spending about $100.00 for a Shortwave
radio,I think it is hard to beat spending that amount of money for a new
Sony 7600 GR radio.The best in it's class for the money.
