Reader's Digest RDA-127 Radio
The Readers Digest RDA-127 is a relatively large multiband shortwave radio which can receive ten bands (AM, FM, shortwave 1 & 2, TV audio 1 & 2, weather, CB, aircraft, VHF) and also has a public address feature.

Other features include squelch (helpful for communications listening) and tone controls, a headphone jack, a fine tuning control, an external antenna jack, a built-in battery charger, and a dial light. It is powered with the built-in power cord, an external DC adapter (such as a cigarette lighter cord), or batteries.

Similar radios include the Worldstar MG-6000 (almost identical), the Rhapsody RY-610 and RY-611 (no squelch control, different style, RY-611 has a cassette player), and the Radio Shack SW-100 (no sq. ctrl., different style). The RDA-127 appears on eBay fairly often. Alarm clocks with the same brand name can sometimes be found there as well.
