Hi:
While learning about shortwave reception and broadcasters, I also built up some knowledge of portable shortwave radios. I put some of my opinions on portable receivers together into a buying guide.

I discuss radios in 6 price ranges (in US dollars): $30-50, $50-70, $80-100, $120-150, $200-250, $500-600.

Hi everyone:
Thanks for checking it out! Good point about the 1105. I like the layout of that radio. I wasn't sure how to classify the Chinese-only radios in terms of price, because the shipping costs are high and can definitely impact the purchasing decision. The 1105 seems to belong in the $50-70 price range and description though. I will update the article and credit you for mentioning it.
