My Dad who was a radio man in WWII enjoys his shortwave at bedside.
The following are criteria-
LARGE dials and easier to read, not too complicated
No need for FM quality or super sound system
Had a radio shack I bought years ago and it worked OK until broke
High quality for the money
Price point up to 300 dollars?

I do not know a lot about these radios so any suggestions for radios would
be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks

Tom

The Grundig Satellit 800 Millennium is a fine radio. Not too complicated,
pretty darned big, and I bought mine brand new on sale for less than
$400.00.

If you're interested, scour the web, and eBay. You might be able to nab it
for less than $300.00.

Hope this helps a tad, at least...

Eton S350DL for $149.00. See previous post on Eton S350DL for details
on radio and comparison to others.

Thanks for the options will check both out...
By the way What about the Palstar R30? I know it is expensive but I like the
made in USA part. Will this require an antenna or does it work out of the
box?
I would pay for a unit that is high quality and looks easy to use with a big
knob and few options...
Would this be money best spent for higher quality listening?

Thanks
