I'm searching for the perfect pocket radio.

* Cover AM/FM/SW
* Digital tuning
* Smaller than 4" x 3" x 1"
* Weigh less than 10oz
* Use AA batteries
* Std 3.5mm stereo headphone jack
* Offer SSB
* Excellent & rugged "build" quality
* Excellent performance on *all* bands
* Priced less than $100
* I'd also like weather and TV (VHF & UHF) coverage.

A few candidates that I've come across and with the exception of
weather/TV for which I'd pay a little more where they fall short of my
criteria are;

Grundig YB400PE -
* Expensive and big

Grundig YB550PE -
* Still too big and no SSB

Eton E100 -
* No SSB and not great performance

Yaesu VR120
* Expensive, no SSB and terrible AM/FM


And what's up with the manufactures that seem similar? Eton & Grundig &
Tecsun? Kaito & Sangean?

Thanx,
Bob


Sangean ATS-606A is what I schlep around. No SSB. No Weather. No TV
(BTW, I've never seen a TV band radio with UHF. I also have a little
hand-held Casio TV).

Which Casio do you have David? I have a EV-670 3" that I got off Ebay. Not
too bad, though it dosent like the cold much.

I have the bottom of the line one. I'm a TV engineer and I just use
it to make sure my stations are on the air. It lives on my front
seat. If my employer would buy it, I'd have a demod with a drop-down
LCD panel. But since they don't, it's this:

You might also look at the Trinity CT-V710.

It's a 7 inch wide screen LCD with a built in rechargeable battery.
