However the Belka doesn't cover FM broadcast. If that's not an issue than this is a great choice. Again read the reviews on this little wonder, some of which are linked in our wiki, viz.Belka, bar none. Fits in a shirt pocket and is on par with most larger radios, including desktops. Amazing little radio. Read the reviews. It’s everything that the reviews say it is. Takes a bit of patience to get one, but it is worth it. If you want something more conventional, The Tecsun 501/x will merit serious consideration

The CC Skywaves do look nice. Lots of models and some are expensive. They generally get good reviews.C.Crane Skywave SSB am,fm,wx alert, full sw/ssb, and aviation. Selectivity on ssb is sharp, and filters are pretty fair.
Yeah, I used to take mine to work at night since it had all the features I wanted and it was small enough to fit in my backpack. The Skywave ssb is the model I have, which comes with earbuds, a leatherette caase and a little 23' windup antenna.The CC Skywaves do look nice. Lots of models and some are expensive.

I’ve been wondering about that one. Some reviewers have said it’s a really sensitive radio.The Qodosen DX286 might be worth at least a bit of research to see if it fits your needs. You tube search is
Now keep in mind that with some of these radios, you won't be able to put a big antenna on these radios. they will overload badly.
