You probably noticed from the Sangean FAQ that the Radio Shack DX-398 is the same exact radio. Radio Shack occasionally has these on sale. I got my DX-398 locally for $149 (yes, $100 off) back in November. It's a great radio.<br><br>I should also add that it's very efficient with battery usage, and I have also run it directly off of a 5W solar panel.<br><br>
