I bought a Sony XR-CA640X from Jacky's a couple of months ago. I am very
happy with it. It receives AM/FM and has two shortwave bands. It doesn't
receive 13 meters, but pretty much everything else from 3 MHz to 17 MHz.
The bandwidth is just a tad too wide, as there is sometimes a whistle if
there is a strong adjacent station +/- 5 kHz away; however, the equalizer in
the radio can reduce the noise.

The XR-CA640X has a detachable faceplace and a cassette. It does not have a
CD; however, any Xplod component will work. I bought a CD/MP3 changer and
hooked it up. You can also hook up the Xplod model XM radio unit as well.

I have a mini-review of the radio on my web site:
