A cheap toy, but it looks kinda fun to play with. (SI4732 0.5-108mhz Pocket Mini Radio)

If anything, it appears less than a marginal performer, but it has a rudimentary SSB capability even if it's not really that usable. Here is a video that shows more about it. Anyone here have one? It's a cute little TOY though if you want something to put in a display case.

Yes, I bought it for $27USD and have had a great time playing with it. The SSB works pretty well, if you see his follow up video, BFO can be adjusted via the menu. While not the best radio in my arsenal, it works pretty well (I use an indoor amplified loop) with the right antenna. As would be expected, the audio output is weak, but listenable. I have wasted way more $ on lunch and consider this a fun radio to take out and not worry about losing it.

Cool! After reading your comment about the BFO I decided to pop for one myself. What I really liked was your comment, "I have wasted way more $ on lunch." That's a good way of putting it, and it'll last a lot longer that any lunch ever would. So, in about three weeks...
