RadioShack.com is offering the Grundig G6 Aviator Buzz Aldrin Edition Shortwave Radio for a low $59.99 shipped, which reflects a $40 discount off the regular list price and is the lowest total price we know to be available. Digitally tunes AM, FM, shortwave (150-29999KHz), and aircraft (117-137MHz) bands.

Grundig G6 Aviator Product Reviews

I use them for reviews on all my ham equipment.

Also, for best reception, string you up a wire antenna. The metal ones aren't worth poo!

Another more expensive option, head over to TEN-TEC in Sevierville and get a RX-320D.

I have owned this radio, and with a good antenna, it performs well.
