Is that a good radio for 100 bucks?

Hmmmm, well, if given the option a second time, I probably wouldn't buy
it for $100, even if the newer ones are more stable than the early
model I picked up. The major plus is that it's quite sensitive. I
don't particularly care for all of the images on this set. As far as
this type of radio (analog w/digital readout) goes, I prefer my ol'
Panasonic RF-2600 and 2900 (admittedly these two models, as well,
suffer from some image problems). The S350 is excellent on batteries.
By and large, the audio is pretty decent on the S350, although mine
rarely remains stationary on a SW frequency for long. I do use the
S350 a lot for FM listening, for which it's fairly decent.
This thing seems to have been designed for those who have some
nostalgia for old portables like the two Panasonics mentioned above.
Would an 11 year old go for it? I honestly don't have any idea. But
all the best in making your decision.
