"* Excellent & rugged "build" quality"

Well, the SW100S build quality, while very professional, is not
something that you can bang around alot... especially with the cover
open. Yes, it's probably 3 times the $100 price he's looking for...

This is one of the reasons I keep on thinking about something like the
Degen DE-1105, which is $60 (incl international shipping on ebay) .
I'd miss the syncronous detection I have on my SW100S... I don't use
SSB much, so I wouldn't miss that.

Agreed, the SW100S would fail on the "rugged build" factor, as would
the SW07. Bob will need to prioritize from among these various
criteria, since he can't have it all...

Before acquiring the SW07, I used to carry a 606A around quite
frequently. It's a reasonably priced radio with decent performance,
although it's a tad larger (5 3/4 x 3 1/2 x 1 1/4) than what Bob is
looking for and, as noted by David, lacking in SSB.

www.shop.com I saw an AM/FM/Shortwave portable radio there for $731.34
(seven hundred and thirty one dollars and thirty four cents) (for that
kind of money,it better! be a d..n good radio) (too rich for my blood)
But WAIT!,you save about one hundred and thirty one dollars! Sounds like
that coon on tv pedaling that oxyclean (phoney crap!) stuff and you can
hear him all the way to the Moon and back.
