A Grundig 960 is a copy of an old style shortwave rig on the outside but has
updated electronocs inside. It may be out of your price range but is maybe
the best of both worlds. I can't vouch for it's shortwave abilities but
they're probably not bad.

I like old stuff and I want to get into hearing some talk radio outside of
my
area. I'm also on a budget. Will this suit my needs?
