I have the CC skywave radio.  It is quite a little radio and very 
sensitive, but it will overload on shortwave if your near a powerful AM 
station.

You can type in the frequency you want to go to and it has variable band 
width on am.  It will receive stereo FM if you use a headphone but it 
will not receive ssb or cw.  In order to type in a frequency, you must 
hit the upper right button in the number pad to enter frequency mode.  
The number buttons are usually set to go to a numbered memory.  I find 
the radio very accessible.
