Shortwave Radios?

[upinya]

Que Paso:

I've been thinkin' about buyin' a shorwave radio. But I have NO idea what to look for. I've seen them online for as little as 35.00, up to 500.00. So does anyone know anything about them. Such as what specs to look for, what's to much, what's to cheap. Any information would help.

Thanks..

I've got the Grundig Yacht Boy 400PE (http://www.grundigradio.com/product/..._boy_400pe.asp) . It was $150 from Radio Shack when I bought it. It has good sound, good reception. The controls, such as setting the clock can be a little tricky. The biggest thing I wish it had was a backup battery in it. You either have to use the AC adapter or have batteries in it all the time to keep your stored settings.
