Just wondering what people would suggest as a portable radio with best reception.
Wouldn't mind multi band so I can get weather reports as
well as listening to footy and cricket if possible.
Cheers

Are you looking for something that has good remote reception or something that has lots of bands or both?
Unfortunately, the ABC closed down their Short Wave Australia and Radio Australia service a few years ago so or broadcast radio, AM and FM are the only things you need. The BOM still broadcasts weather on SW but you really need to work hard to get a local weather forecast for land, it is broadcast every few hours.
BOM HF weather broadcasts
If you want remote AM reception then a Tecsun AN 200 will turn any radio into a reception superstar. They work like magic. I use
mine everywhere. For $50, it can drag a quality signal out of the noise. No wires, no battery they are amazing.
