A radio with no static probably doesn’t exist. But my wife just bought me this “Panasonic RF-2400D” AM FM radio. It’s small powerful, has a good quality of sound and uses 4 AA batteries or you can plug it into the wall outlet.

It’s all about how good the unit is, and how much signal you’re catching. Surprisingly, car radios are some of the best you can buy cheap, but require a bit of converting to use in a home.

I recall that I used to get the best signal plugging my stereo receiver into a cable tv terminal with a coaxial cable, and getting pretty darn good radio reception.

Easy answer – get one with a digital tuner, that costs more than the cheap ones.

A small shortwave wth PLL tuning is what you want This one also is very high quality

Here is dirt cheap

Sangean, Eton and Tecsun are popular brands among radio cognoscenti for better than average quality.

The best radio you can buy (in my opinion) is Tivoli Audio. I have one and it is so wonderful that when I moved I gave my stereo equipment away. Have a look. I have the Model One. It’s a mono radio but the sound is clear and can fill my whole downstairs. It’s remarkable, really.
