In the 'bang for your buck' stakes you should look at the Sangean ATS-909. Very well featured, including all band coverage, including lower side band and upper side band in SSB mode, a large memory available on all frequencies, rotary digital tuning, plus 'direct dial-in' frequency. Hard to find a radio of this size [ about the same size as the old Grundig Yachtboy ] with so many features for such a good price. [ I have no commercial or other ties with Sangean].<br>The downside of the ATS is that it is microprocessor controlled, which means it can eat batteries [ AAs ]. But as a 'bang for your buck' receiver, it has built a good reputation over recent years among the SWL fraternity.
