I am a collector of good radios.

I would suggest going to amazon and buying the

Sangean PR-D4W

https://www.amazon.com/Sangean-PR-D...ix=Sangean+pr-d4w%2Caps%2C237&sr=8-2

which has the best weather band reception I have ever seen,
state of the art FM reception,
and long distance AM reception better than all but a select few current radios.

I’m a big fan of this one.

Great tone, reception, and SAME county code programming is a snap.

I have many many portables and static radios. By far the best tunability is this cheap transistor that I use for hunting in mountainous areas.
When I bought it was being sold as a sony, but it's the same with a different sticker.
