I sent one of the RAD-108s over to Two Hands and a Radio for a YouTube review. Update - looks like 2H has taken his YouTube channel down so this is no longer available. Here is mine, a poor substitute.   It didn't do too well on the American AM broadcast band, probably due to tuning in 9kHz rather than 10kHz steps!

Tesco in the UK are selling a world-band portable for £8 incuding VAT (that's $12 USD at current exchange rate). I don't normally shop there but I might have to make a special trip to pick up one of these R-108 radios for evaluation. That'll be £12 then after adding the cost of the tram ride. It covers 12 bands: Long Wave Medium Wave FM Broadcast 88-108 SW1 60 meter SW2 49 meter SW3 41 meter SW4 31 meter SW5 25 meter SW6 22 meter SW7 19 meter SW8 16 meter SW9 13 meter Link to RAD-108 at Tesco.com
