good shortwave radios?

Ive got a DEGEN 1103, and can really recommend it! They are all over Ebay, and mine cost me with postage, about £35--so thats about $40?? It is very sensitive, I find it works best with its own aerial extended, but it does have an input socket as well--ssb/cw capable, and great sound for a little set--its about 7"x 3 1/2" and is complete with its own rechargeable batteries and mains power pack(which charges the batteries as well) . ianj
