I have a Sony 2010 that is absolutely great but I do not listen to
shortwave. I want to a small portable AM/FM with good sound and
various buttons, ie: timer, presets, etc. Any suggestions ?

I have quite a few radios that I would trade for your 2010.......

My Sangean ATS-606A is small, not very loud, but has a very pleasant
sound. My Panasonic RF-B45 has mighty sound, is built like a tank,
but no longer available.

My GE SuperRadio III has a handle; takes batteries; has the best sound
system of any of my portables -- kind of a monaural am-fm boombox. Has
a woofer and a separate tweeter with tone controls. Only about $37 at
Amazon.com

For more bells and whistles, knobs & buttons, try the CCrane web site;
they have about the best selection of better am-fm's that I've seen.
Not cheap, tho'

I'm not aware of an AM/FM only radio that will fit that bill. However
for $60.00 or so a Degen DE1103 will cover AM and FM (in addition to
SW), and has quite good audio out the speaker and through the
headphones. And it is highly portable.

I really enjoy the sound on my S-350 but as far as a shortwave radio
goes, you can do a lot better.

The Degen 1102 is a great portable and for the size I'd say the sound
was excellent. But it is tinny compared to larger models. Pick your
poison - I'd imagine the biggest portable you find generally will have
the best sound.

GE SUPER RADIOS
a.. Speakers: 6.5-inch high-sensitivity woofer and 2-inch cone tweeter
a.. Reception: Tuned RF on AM and FM for long-range reception

Also sold by Radio Shack -- Optimus Brand as I recall

AM is super but analog tuning -- really pulls em in with its big ferriloop
antanna - great sound from the big speaker

FM is so so sensitivity & selectivity wise - No stereo speakers, but stereo
on earphones as I recall The SRIII is reported improved on FM

Try it you'll like it for $40 or so.

CL -- I doubt, therefore I might be !

The sound on my Grundig YB 400 is amazing.
Best fidelity on a small radio I've ever heard.
