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?
