Default Need small rugged SW for long distance bike tour

I reiterate, look at the Grundig Mini 300 PE . . .

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.
