Re: [PLUG] [OT] SW radio question

Have you looked at the Tecsun PL-368? I picked on up a couple of months ago. Pretty neat unit.

I know this is off topic however there are quite a few ham radio folks here
and I need some knowledgeable advice.  

I'm planning on buying a portable AM/FM/SW radio and I'm down to these two
Both seem highly rated. 
The Tecsun has the ability to play mp3s but I doubt I will need that. 
They both charge their batteries internally which is a plus. 
The Tecsun seems to have better audio & speakers but for +$100 I don't need it. 

Any recommendations, comments, or suggestions?

Background: I'm interested in having a SW radio in case of a disaster. The rest of the time it will 
just be playing plain old FM or AM radio.
I'll be doing some research and practice so I know how to find what I'm looking for when I need it.

Thank you,
Eric
