[Spooks] Good radio for monitoring broadcasts (& other questions)?

[Matt Senecal]

All,

I'm fairly new to all this, so please bear with me.

I'm looking to purchase a SW radio for listening to numbers stations, as 
well as general SW listening. I'd like something (new or used) in the $100 
range. Can anyone suggest a good radio for that price?

I understand that some decent portables with digital tuners are available 
in that range. Anyone have any opinions on the subject? A digital tuner is 
an attractive feature, because I was going to dabble in decoding weatherfax 
transmissions.

I live in the San Diego area, soon (hopefully) to relocate to Northern 
Utah. Any advice on monitoring from either of those two areas?

I remember as a kid sitting in front of my grandfather's SW setup listening 
to the numbers stations. Being an adventurous kid, I immediately thought of 
spies and espionage....

Many thanks!

---Matt
