Thanks everyone! Good point about no resale value, but it's not an
issue for me - I just want a small SW/AM/FM radio that I can take
travelling and camping.

The only time I'd be concerned with resale value is if I bought a high-end
tabletop receiver.

The DE1103 will work great for your intended purposes. It's a good
performer, it's cheap, and it's the perfect size for traveling. I still
think it's the best deal going in the realm of portable SW receivers that
are less than $100. The only thing I dislike about this radio is the funky
volume-control thing, but I got used to it pretty quickly.
