Hello,

I would appreciate any inputs regarding a good radio to buy that is
small for travel, covers the international SW broadcast spectrum, as
well as standard AM, Fm, and has good sensitivity. Sound quality is
not important.

Thank you for any inputs.

I've had a Tecsun PL-200 (similar to Grudig YB550 I think)
bought from an ebay dealer for about $50 inclding shipping.

Except to the tinny sound it's great. I currently have a CCcrane
Plus radio and it pulls in just about all the same AM/FM
stations. Till recently I had a Grundig Satellit 700 here, and this
picks up at least as many stations, although because the audio isn't
as good, some can't be understood. Earphones sound a little better.

It came with a neat little traveling longwire antenna with a clip that
connects to the whip. There is no other way to connect an antenna.

2 AA batteries, 10oz loaded. In a month of occasional
listening the battery-usage scale is still at 100%.
