I am thinking grundig miniworld 100pe or similar radio. Grundig has
mixed reviews so I am asking for opinions.

For just AM/FM, I would highly-recommend the Sony ICFS10MK2 - it is
handsome, rugged, and a great DX'er:

It can be had off SonyStyle.com, J&Rmusic.com, or Amazon.com for about
$10, including shipping:

Most consumers gave it great reviews on Amazon.
All of the digital AM/FM radios are ugly - plus, the Sony ICF-S10MK2
is analog-tuned an narrowed filtered, so it blocks out some of the
IBOC/IBLOC/IBUZZ on AM. My $25 cheap digital PLL radio is too wide
filtered and picks up too much IBOC/IBLOC/IBUZZ. With nighttime IBOC/
IBLOC/IBUZZ coming, I wouldn't spend too much on a radio, until the
affects of skywave IBOC/IBLOC/IBUZZ are known.
