I agree with the main points of the review regarding HF use (not that good),
plus I'd add that the audio with the built-in speaker is terrible. The
VR-500 is probably not the best choice for SWL, but it definitely is one
very compact unit.

The Yaesu VR-500 meets your requirements and fits in a shirt pocket.
