Hi,

I'm looking for a miniature shortwave receiver for use in central
europe. My criteria is:

Must be small and light
External antenna for improved reception
Digital tuning
Battery and AC power
Speaker

Does anyone have any ideas? All I want to do is listen to the BBC from
a hotel room on a set small enough to carry around in a rucksack
without being too heavy.

Please respond to this group only.

TIA

Paul

Paul,

The Degen or Kaito (Brand names) model 1101 or 1102 sound perfect for
what you are looking for. My 1102 is incredibly small with external
wire included. It goes for hours on its included rechargeable
batteries and is really a great value.

The 1102 even has SSB capability.

Good luck in your search.
