On that note... What do you recommend for a radio (primarily for SW), but that can get am/fm; but is very portable. I was looking into the ICOM r5 with a couple antena's to get what I need, but if something smaller exists (with less bells, whistles and bands), i'd be really interested. Any ideas?


You could try the Eton E5 AM/FM Shortwave Radio available at http://www.amazon.com/Eton-E5-AM-Shortwave-Radio/dp/B000EINRA8

or the Roberts R876 PLL Digital World Radio, both of which are excellent as portable SW radios. Slightly expensive but high performance SW radios.

For home use the Freeplay Summit is also very good being a quality product with good quality reception and sound for such a small radio. Oh it doesn't require any batteries either, which can be pretty useful in an emergency.

Anything smaller? I was thinking of something more of an 'EDC' size...

Thanks for the response.
