  Yes - good resource. A modern portable SW radio is very capable and power efficient on batteries. Do please explore the links provided above. Happy to help if you have any questions.

    I'm interested and considering getting an amateur radio license. It's not clear yet, but I wanted to get a single portable device that allows for reception of all the most important frequencies, which I think includes shortwave, HF, VHF, NOAA weather and the amateur radio bands. Is there a device that does all of this?

      There are a few "hardware" Wideband radio receivers out there, depending on budget. Have a look at the site links below - the site does not claim to be a definitive list, and is focused around the pictures of the equipment. The "big three". Some of the more modern bits of kit cover "DC to Daylight" frequencies.
