Decent shortwave radio for under $200

[Se7en]

Not interested in a kenwood or icom just something simple with filtering for $200 or less have any recommendations?

I am currently looking at Radio shack dx394 (course I do the mods to spruce it up).
Also the, Grundig models 750, 800, s350, s450.

Check out Universal.

Shortwave Portable Radio Receivers

http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/portable/chartp.html

Several of the staff are big into SWL. They even have frequent classes and seminars. Call them, tell 'em what you want and how much you wanna spend.

They sell many SW sets compared to HAM.

For the price the 1103 does work well but it's controls are awkward to use.

It sounds like a good one but it looks very ugly

Just got the Grundig S350DL yesterday its okay the tune knob is funky and touchy) and I ordered a Grundig G6 mainly for SSB RX (that will be here next week). " I am a little bummed out that Fry's electronics was selling the Grundig G6 on sale for $39.99 limited supplys, now there sold out for ever!"

Always check Universal Radio. They run bundle specials frequently. I have been going there many moons.

Shortwave stuff is their bread and butter. Sometimes, their deals are hard to pass on.
