"* 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.
