I have a Sony ICF-SW7600GR that I use in the Caribbean. It is great!

Previously I had a similar radio from Radio Shack. It was a peice of junk
and Radio Shack didn't care.

Can anybody recommend a small radio that would allow me to listen (no
transmit) to local SSB broadcasts without having to install a full fledged
SSB radio/tuner/stay antenna? This would be for a sailing boat. Any
suggestion on making a simple antenna? Some of the Sony World Radios claim
to be able to receive SSB. How well does it work? I am planning to use it
in
Mexico to tune in to the local weather nets.

Thanks,

Sam
