Hi, Donna --
Passport to World Band Radio has the most comprehensive overall
reviews; do you have a scanned version of that?
Radio Netherlands might have some analog receiver reviews still up at
http://www2.rnw.nl/rnw/en/features/media/productreviews/rx_index.html.
The newest analog I've seen is the Grundig S350, made by Tecsun and
sold by them as the BCL2000. That's $100 from Universal. That might
be bigger than you want. Check this URL:
http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/portable/3500.html. We gave
one away at the Fest last year. Great sound.
Another option is the Sony SW-20. It apperas you'd have to buy that
used. It's tiny -- 3 inches x 5 inches x 0.5 inch. Double
conversion. I have one; my only complaint might be battery related;
frequently the radio shuts itself off while I'm minding my own
business and listening.
The Universal website also lists a couple Sangeans; Kaito has one
called the WRX-911. The reviews I've read of it are middling.
The Universal Radio page with all receivers -- showing which are
analog and which are digital - is
http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/portable.html.
Hope this gets you started. Perhaps others with a bit more free time
than me could summarize the Passport reviews of analog sets for you.
