Travel AM/FM/SW?
 
The subject almost says it all. I have a Sony 2010 -- a bit large for
traveling. I also have a Satellit 800 -- "that's all I'm gonna say
'bout that!"

I should add that an alarm clock is an essential feature, and under
$100 would be great.

Sangean ATS606/Radio Shack DX-399.

For example--Over in three hours (not my auction):

Or to try to find another well cared for one since the DX-399 is
discontinued and the Sangean model goes for about $130 new. A very
neat travel radio with great sound-- although whip sensitivity could
be better, you can easily pick up the majors. Also variable alarm
settings and an annoying alarm tone that gets louder if you don't shut
it off. It's saved me on a couple of trips.

You may also want to check out some of the Degen and Kaito Chinese
stuff on eBay, although I'm not sure of their alarm capabilities.

My favorite really small radio (i.e. fits in a pocket) is the Tecsun PL-200.
Has alarms, sleep timer, full shortwave coverage (no SSB) antenna gain
switch to increase sensitivity. And can recharge batteries in the radio.
It's great at $41.90 plus shipping form Liypn

He tests his radios before shipping them out.
Eton/Grundig is now selling the same radio with a different case as the
E100.

I have a Grundig Mini 300 which has a digital display and a clock with alarm
& sleep functions, plus wrist strap, case, and earbuds. Regular price is
$39.95 but is now available from levenger.com on sale for $29.95:
