Good questions.
a) I plan on using this radio for emergency information incase I have to evacuate. For finding out how things are going elsewhere (receive only not transmit) ie. Incase the government tries to enforce vaccine usage I'll use this to see if it's ok to return from "camping".
I'd like the smallest and lightest unit possible (for ease of transport). The Grundig 100PE is the smallest I could find. Although I believe I heard that I would want a SSB receiver. From a quick internet search I've gleamed that the side bands were carrier waves originally...more or less a tighter frequency range? I just don't know what news is available on SSB. How useful is it? See note at bottom of page where I say I know nothing of sw/radios <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
b) The two models I am looking at are:
http://usa.shortwavestore.com/grundig-yb400pe.htmlGrundig YB400
http://usa.shortwavestore.com/grundig-mini-world-100.htmlGrundig 100PE
I'm not dead set on these models. I also am not familiar with shortwave/radios. My idea of shortwave is "turn dial until you get a station" and "shortwave skips across the ionosphere so you can hear over the horizon transmissions." Again usage is just for receiving news. My ignorance shines I'm sure <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
