Must be 120VAC power source. Battery power can be optional but not
necessary. Can be table or portable.
I've been looking at the CC RadioPlus, GE SuperRadio III, Radio Shack
Optimus and DX Series, Kaito 1100 series and others. Each has a
downside and some a significant downside. As far as price range goes,
around $300 would be the max.
Your input would be greatly appreciated.

I would agree with RHF that the Kaito KA2100 / Redsun RP2100 (or its
C. Crane variant) is probably a good way to go, given user opinions of
this set. Alternately, going on the high side of your budget, the
forthcoming Grundig Satellit 750 could prove interesting, if you're
prepared to wait a bit (due out in mid-March).

What's your best guess on the price of the Grundig?...Maybe I'll wait
till March.
