I have a different Sangean world radio. Really good quality radio, but I have to say reception matters more on your antenna then your radio. Speaking of antennas, I need good, understandable info on good antnenas for say 19 meter band, and 25 meter band. :p

If you're looking for shortwave in this general price range, Radio Shack has their DX-398 on sale through 28 April for $149, $100 off the regular (slightly inflated) price. The DX-398 is a rebadged Sangean ATS-909, a step up in the Sangean line from the ATS-808 mentioned here. The Radio Shack version does not come with an AC adapter or an external antenna, but is otherwise identical to the Sangean version. The Sangean usually goes for about $220, so for $149 plus $15 for an AC adapter and a piece of wire to use as an external antenna, the Radio Shack deal is pretty hot. The Radio Shack web site does not sell this radio; it's available only in the stores.
