I am new to shortwave radio and found the PT-633 on a website. I
searched alot of other sites and couldn't find anything even similar
for the price.

Would this be a good beginner's radio for me to purchase? I also
travel alot and want to take it with me in my luggage.

I searched Universal and other sites and nobody even came close to
this price on the PT-633

Thanks,

I think I'd pass on it in favor of one with a digital frequency readout.
