I also agree with Mentholyptus the Tecsun 660 is also a a great portable as well! Also, if you can find a Sangean 803A or Radio Shack DX-440 (same model as Sangean) in good shape, (I have one that I used for years, but it's a bit burnt out now, just never had the heart to pitch it) might also be a way to go.

I have the Kaito KA1103- great radio; Works even better with the 25" longwire it comes with. If you get a Powerful signal, switch from DX to Local in controls. especially for SSB. SSB tends to get a little tricky, using the clarifier (fine tune). The narrow / wide filter actually works well... Rarely drifts. When using the AC adapter, there is a light switch you can leave ON, with no interference. Sweet... Also...the buttons are pretty close set together...more than once I i was unable to tune until I saw I had accidentially hit the KEYLOCK button. Press it for about 2-3 seconds to turn off. ///
Pricewise.... Shop Around... no need to pay the list price of $119.00 Important: get the Kaito new...comes w/ rechargable batteries, AC adapter, a carrying bag case- (think Royal Crown purple bag
) and 25" antenna. The instruction / operating manual while small and suitable for people like me with myopia, is well stated and layed out. As they say, "It really is a "must read".
BTW The controller for the volume is a bit maddening as it's a 2 step process, (it's preset level is #40 and you have to quickly drop it to #9 to #12 so you won't jump out of your skin. Also, don't forget earphones or earbuds. It does make a difference!
Bought mine new from Ebay for I think $89.00 for the whole shebang! You will pay more from an online Ham / Shortwave business, i.e. Universal Shortwave, etc. Amazon also sells new. Wish I had one of these in my youth... It's tried and true. You'll enjoy it!
Good Luck! ...Steve / RCCI
