You mean radio / receiver gear?
The Kaito KA321 was a really good one (RIP mine due to battery leakage), though the speaker is a bit tinny.
I have this one without shortwave, and it's fun to play with and has a really good speaker for the size. So if the shortwave receive is even OK it might be pretty fun.
The QFX R-39 looks similar to the XHDATA, but with a flashlight. :-) That might be cool.
