The clear hands down winner is the GE Superadio III, which is available online for less than $50. This portable battery powered radio actually includes a decent radio receiver, allowing you to tune in distant stations often over 100 miles away. The AM section is remarkable, and the unit actually includes the ability to hook up an external antenna. A genuine throwback with its six inch wide vernier scale and no digital readout, it's the ideal radio for camping or packing in your emergency kit.
