Default Need small rugged SW for long distance bike tour

The performance of the SW100 and 7600GR are pretty much the same,
except that the SW100 is much smaller and has a squeakier speaker. The
SW100 os basically a miniaturised 7600. But on headphones they sound
the same (both extremely good). A ngelcted point of these radios is
that they not only have a phone socket, they have a line out socket,
and can deliver superb audio quality of FM to both earphones and an
external hifi.


Thanks for that info Chris

Size and weight ARE of importance as I plan to travel
somewhat ultra-light on this bike tour.

This tour will be abt 2000 miles. I just need
something to listen to while laying in tent at night.
AM/FM is a vast wasteland now days so am hoping
something can be found on SW.
