Newbie here. I travel constantly throughout SE Asia, and would like a
light small s/w radio to keep up with the BBC (and ideally: classical
music broadcasts from Europe). I'd like to pay $50 or less. (less is
better. Easy tuning (presets) would be a nice plus.

If you travel through out SE Asia, you should be able to find one
very cheap in Hong Kong or any major city.
One draw back however, some of the radios are NOT marked
in english, so check it over before you buy.

Check your local area Walgreens stores.

Thanks guys. Big help! My friend bought a really cheap Chinese one
making a visa run into Burma I think. Paid $10 and it picks up the BBC
throughout SE Asia quite well, though it's boxey. He says the BBC (if
I understand him) switch the channel they operate on quite frequently
though, so it's a bit of searching (or maybe he's referring to local
countries that carry the program on different frequencies). But he's
retired and has plenty of time. His radio is probably useless to pick
up things like classical music from Europe though.

If he is travelling and wants something small, and $50.00 or less,
then he might want the radio to be small enough to fit into a pocket
and not take up much space. The KA1102 is probably as big as he would
want to go. But the KA1105/DE1105 or even the DE11/KA11 would probably
be better for being small and taking up very little room.
The Redsun 2100 is probably much too big for his purpose.
