Any Shortwave Radio Listeners out there? Can you help me select a goo Receiver ?  

Hello everyone!

This is my first post in this amazing forum and I joined recently, though I had been following this website for quite sometime, but mostly reading a few things here and there.

I would really like to ask for some help from you guys. I want to purchase a nice portable Shortwave receiver under 100$ to listen to the [3-30] MHz. frequency band. Hence, I want everyone of you to suggest me the best available options in this regard at present with the help of your experience, within the price range of 50$-100$ but not more and also some links which could let me see the specifications for me to choose the right receiver for myself. I am open to both Indian and foreign models.

Secondly, I am located in India. And after a few intense search I came to know that there is not even a decent Short Wave Receiver that is sold here locally. I don't know if I am really correct or not, I would be happy if someone prove me wrong. So, can anyone of you please guide me to a reliable website/dealer to make an Online purchase, either within India or outside ? I have no idea of an online purchase from outside of my country, so any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

Thirdly, is importing a foreign receiver through E-bay allowed ? If yes, will I have to pay any extra fees beside price and shipping charge? And how much ?

Thanking you all in advance, and hoping to hear back from someone of you helpful Shortwave Lovers
