Small radio for backpack; reception in train?

Suggest you check out the Degen DE1105;
while it does not have SSB, and does not go below 5800 or above 26000
it is very small, does have double reduction, 1,000 memories; and is
very sensitive;

I just received my new DE1105:
- small and light
- basic functionality is easy to operate
- advanced functionality (copying station pages, setting alarms etc.)
is not intuitive, you need to spend half an hour with the manual
- good backlight for display and keys so you can operate it in the dark
- the DE31 antenna I got with the eBay offer helps a lot, but
interestingly more so when the DE31's amplifier is turned off
- selectivity almost as good as its big brother Sangean ATS909
I also bought a GP-4L radio for USD 20 which is even smaller and
lighter:

- analog tuning with digital frequency display is handy to quickly
search a band
- worse selectivity than the DE1105, strong stations must be not be
close or you hear nothing
