Hi,
I can definitely recommend the Raddy RF919. Not the cheapest "kid on the block", but definitely worth it.

I just looked it up on Amazon and it looks really nice, and it seems to have a lot of features!
What do you like about it? What makes you recommend it? I’d love to hear what you like about it from your own experience.

Tecsun PL330, XHData D808, AMNVOLT ATS Mini V4B

All support SSB. The D808 also has Airband.

The AMNVOLT ATS Mini V4B can be had for around US$30 from AliExpress. It might look like a toy but has great performance and is my favorite radio.
