Is the Kaito 1121 the best side band radio reciever that I can get for $200 or less to go with my Coastal Cruiser?

Sorry maybe my question was a little specific. I am needing a little general info about ssb also. Some might be familiar with the Kaito 1103. I saw a couple of threads that convinced me that this 1103 is the best reciever for sailing. I went to the Kaito web sight and found the KA 1121. Apparently this one comes with an MP3 player to record. Wonder if anywone has experience with it? What about getting a weather map from one of these gadget radios to a laptop? Is that easy to do? Do I need more than an auxillary cable and a computer to go with it? I am getting ready to sail to the Bahamas.

Another good one is the NASA TARGET HF3-you can also get it as the HF3W-which includes a weather fax programme on CD and PC lead.
However you can down load a weatherfax programme online and usual programme lead is a mono jack plug lead which takes the audio fax signal from the receiver and feeds it through your mike socket on your PC
