Having both of those (sw-07 sw-100) I wouldn't consider either one
"rugged"
by any means.
It wouldn't take much of a drop to rip the folding lid and wires right off
of them...

The smallest and best portable shortwave radios ever made:

The Sony ICF SW-100 is very good but needs the AN-LP1 antenna to perform
well.

Waters & Stanton ships to the US. My orders have been received in as
little
as 1 week.

antenna)
http://www.ogormans.co.uk/shortwav1.htm#SONY ICF-SW100 (no active
antenna)
http://www.unitedbuy.com/icfsw100s.html (includes active antenna AN-LP1)

The SW-07 is sweet and includes the automatic AN-LP2 active antenna.

Except for Waters & Stanton I would call these places to confirm item is
in
stock.

Both of these radios are very desireable and have a high resale value.

I'm riding my bicycle on a long distance bike tour next
summer. Will be camping out along way

What small rugged model SW would you guys advise for
such a trip?







Yea, Buddy ! Grundig/Eton/Tecsun/Redsun are all very cheap Chinese-made
crap - especially, the Grundig S350 !
