I bought an Ocean Digital WR-230S. Cost me less than $100.00 on Amazon. I listen to it often during the day. It works great, but doesn't like to be far from the router.

All I get on HF nowadays is some ham activity, the Voice of Greece, Radio Amazonia and, very weakly, the occasional oceanic aero traffic. In fact, I hear so little on HF that I've been falling back on a little collection of URLs for internet radio streams. These I keep in a file with the extension .M3U, which can be read by most media players, including the Windows Media Player. The streams are of European FM stations that play the kind of music I like, plus a few HF oceanic frequencies and the VHF frequencies for Vancouver Intl. Airport -- the latter courtesy of liveatc.net. It seems I'm spending more time using my media player than my R75 lately.

As for those global flights, even the streams aren't showing much activity, what with all the flight cancellations due to the pandemic.
