i didnt like the mini 300's antenna stub either. in use it hasnt been an
issue at all. the radio has been used for listening while working
construction and has been very durable. it has been used daily for
almost 10 months. this is a record for me because a radio rarely lasts 4
months on the job site.

OK

Well I did like the 'feel" of the 300.... had a kind of
rubbery texture to it. Do you like it?

I'm not discounting the 300..... but will look at some
of the others before buying.

What's nice is the fact that a person can even buys
such a small and cheap SW radio now days!! very cool.

Again for those just now reading this thread I want one
to use on a 2000 mile bicycle tour next summer.
