I would like to get a short-wave radio.  
I would like to get something not outrageously expensive, preferably
under $200.
What I want is to get high-quality receptions of broadcasts from 
Europe and Central and South America.
Most of the ones I see in catalogs are portable, have TV, police, etc.
bands, maybe a cassette tape too.  I have tried to use a couple
of these (never owned one) and could never get much out of them --
maybe a real noisy broadcast from Toronto or something like that.

I would like to be able to have a receiver with good sensitivity
and low static and good quality sound.  I would connect this to
my stereo equipment in my home, so it doesn't need to be anything
besides a receiver(tuner).

Is there anything like that around?  How much would it cost?
