Matthew,
I bought a terrific portable shortwave radio from Kaito last spring.
They have a portable AM/FM stereo/SSB-SW/weather/MP3 player-recorder. If
it's as good as the KA1102 SW radio I bought, it should be fantastic.
It's probably better. SPECS - Kaito radio-MP3 player,
http://www.kaitousa.com/KA1121.htm
Good vendor/price: http://www.radios4you.com/kaito-ka1121.html - I
bought my radio here; price includes separate SW/AM reel antenna. Buy it
directly from Kaito and get a more powerful active antenna.
My radio has a built-in battery charger. The 1121 has the same for both
the radio and MP3 player. My radio has a steep learning curve, as this
one may, but it's well worth it. It has a clock radio and 3 radio/alarms
that can be set independently. I use mine every day and for travel.
It's also more portable and convenient than a Mac Mini, but not as smart
or versatile. Radios4you sez: "...The MP3 function will allow you to
play MP3 audio from a computer download and record and play back radio
broadcasts..." Kaito sez: "...Audio Line-in as an amplifier..." which
means you can play their MP3 player or plug in any other MP3 or CD
player, too. You'll like it, once you figure out all of the details.
