FYI

I have both these radios.

Both are good radios for their intended uses.

The 100 pe is the smallest radio of its kind and goes into my BOB with a small solar recharger and wire for better reception.

The yp 400 pe picks up all the bands i need VERY well and is located with the main survival stash with a larger solar battery recharger. All my survival gear uses AA batteries for redundancy and ease of recharging.

You cant go wrong with either or both depending on your needs.
I owned a crank sw radio and it broke in 2 weeks and the reception sucked. The yb 400 pe is hard to beat for reception in the same price size category.

If you dont plan on walking anywhere get the yb 400 pe, if you do get the smaller unit even tho it does not have SSB it will get tons of stations for information.

BTW the smaller unit does tune in just fine with an analog tuner, just takes some getting used to.

My opinion for what its worth.
