Can anyone recommend a good portable AM/FM/Short Wave radio? Something I could carry with me in an emergency. I'm not looking for something super cheap, but I don't want anything that's very expensive either.
I highly recommend http://www.tentec.com/9-band-sw-receiver-model-1253/
I do not know if this could be useful in an emergency since it requires external power and antenna top operate.
These radios perform surprisingly well with the built in whip antenna.
I do have one of these windup antennas because in addition To improved reception it saves wear and tear on the whip.
