There's really only one I'd recommend in that price range - the Kaito 1103. Check e-bay. You can find them there for less than $100 delivered and they work very well for the price.

I have owned the 1103. I would have to say for the price/performance issues the 1103 is a great receiver! The noise floor is a little higher then I like, but for the price it simply cannot be beat.

Just got mine in today. Wow, small. So far so good, tuning in all kinds of stations on 49M and 31M. Strange controls, but OK once you get used to them. Love the Hexadecimal memories!

I bought from radios4you, got the active antenna bundle, good transaction, fast shipping, great price, good website. Give 'em a looksee....
