I hear ya, cfraser. I've got a little blue handheld that works really well but I have no idea who makes it. (The only lable is "Made in China".) I think it either came from Radio Shack (The Source in Canada) or in a pre-packed emergency kit I won as a door prize at an event. I really wish I could find another. The Grundig FR-200 is great for home use but I'd like a few small ones for our packs. I'll have to have a look for the Mini400. Sounds like a great buy!
