Barry,

Iwould agree w/Kevin on the Grundig S350. The same factory makes the Tecsun BCL-2000 which comes
in red or black(the red is stunning), No big ugly wall wart just an AC cord, no extended band but updated circuitry- I've heard it's better on MW than the S350. The S350 retails at $100, but I've seen
the Tecsun BCL-2000 on ebay "Buy it Now" new in box for $50. Good reviews on both on Radiointel.com.
Of course there's always the GE Superadio for $50.....

73's,

Steve Davis
