I saw a Grundig pocket radio on sale at Rat Shack for $49 CAN.

I tried it, but it was a POS that couldn't even receive WWV :-\

Arnie Coro says the cheaper they are the more they benefit from an
antenna tuner. Course unless you build your own, thats gonna run you
another 50 bucks or more.

I have the Sony ICF-SW7600GR and payed 130 for it. Its arguably one of
the best small portables for the money. It picked up Radio Botswana,
Radio Orbita 3 (Russian 50kw) , and Radio Nigeria from Vermont last
night with just a short outside random wire.

Some of the cheaper Sangeans are also noted to be quite good and less
expensive.

Agreed. My own radio is a Sangean ATS-505 (Radio Shack DX-402), and I
got it during a big RS sale for a C-note - they normally retailed it for
$150. I don't see how you can get more performance for less money than
that deal(at least when buying new).

I like my Grundig eTR7-- $79.95 street price. When I'm working in the yard,
I'll stick it in my shirt pocket with the antenna extended.

The least expensive rx that's quite decent seems to be the Sangean
ATS-505 right now. I've seen it on sale for ~100 EUR; the next step up
would be a Sony ICF-SW7600GR. One of the Sony's predecessors (like the
7600G that is virtually the same reception wise) on the used market
might also be worth considering if in good condition.

The Sangean ATS 606A is smaller than the 505 and much more solid.
They can be had for under $100 occasionally.

I own that small receiver under brand name "Siemens".
for many years now.
An "autostore" function for FM stations is very practical.
Is is also equipet with alarm clock named "human waking alarm".
But under AM range (150 kHz - 29.999 MhZ) there is
no possibility to hear LSB, USB, CW.

As much as I enjoy listening to the Coast Guard or GHFS, I don't miss
them when hiking.
