For years, I've used my Radio Shack DX-360 and my Sangean ATS606A for
SWLing but this changed for the most part after the 2004 hurricane
season. Because I was so annoyed at not having any news sources during
the often 24 plus hours without power here in Florida, after Hurricane
Charley I bought a sand-colored Grundig FR-200 at Radio Shack for $40.
This radio proved to be much more useful than any AC or battery powered


From the weather forecasters, I get the idea that you might be using
it quite a bit this year!! (Good luck, if they come through your
area.)
