I personally don’t like radios that look like they came from a Hong Kong toy shop.
But I do like the Degen DE1103.
The Degen 1103 and the Kaito 1103 are excellent receivers, but the front end FETS are prone to blow out.
Though a bit larger, I love the Tecsun PL 600.
Very robust.
Could use a line out and line in jack.
