[Electronics-Talk] accessible short wave and am fm radio, where can I find one?

[Gary Lee]

Sir:

that depends on your definition of accessible.

Probably the best of the cheaper portables I have used is the CCrane skywave ssb.
This is an am / fm/ SW / aviation receiver with the US weather band as well.

It is pretty small, has decent battery life, and is relatively accessible.
There is a direct entry keypad for tuning, buttons for band selection, and a means to charge AA NI/MH batteries.  I have not attempted to engage the battery charging yet, but will be trying it soon.

I get about 20 to 24 hours listening on standard alkaline batteries.
sensativity is good, and frequency stability is reasonable.

I have the manual in text, and there is a file available on the Ccrane website which contains an audio description and major operating instructions.

Hope this helps.
