I know little abt short wave radio

I'm seeking a good portable radio with decent speaker
that would be easy to hear in small rooms and cabins
when traveling round the world.

Advice?

Never travel with a radio you can't afford to lose.

Damn good advice!

Having said that that would be the model and brand you
recommend that is good... yet somewhat disposable?

The $50 E-10 is my new travel radio. It replaces a $50 Yacht Boy 300.
(If I'm not flying I'll take my beloved Sangean ATS-606A, which, while
not loud, is voiced very pleasantly).

That was a Radioshack closeout special. No longer available at that
price. You gotta pay attention and strike while the ingot is pliable.

I have a $200 Panasonic RFB-45 I got for $50 at WalMart, too. Keep
your eyes open.
