The PL-390 is pocket-sized like the Sony 7600, better sound than the
PL-310/380 since it has two speakers, and the longer antenna makes it
about the best FM radio period, methinks. I highly recommend it.

Why not the tiny Tecsun PL-310 - Truely amazing DSP portable - Only from
ebay it seems though

The current coat-pocket-sized Sony is the ICF-38:

For some reason, my S10 MK2's receive weaker FM stations with greater

clarity when the whip antenna is fully collapsed:

Neil,

For general-purpose listening, you can't go wrong with a
Sony S10-MK2. Pocket-sized, good reception and speaker sound
for its size, good build quality, batteries last a long time
(analog tuning, no digital doodads to drain them). Widely
available new for $10-15. I keep a couple around the house
and in the cars for power failures, etc. Usable with
headphones or earbuds, but you'll need an adapter to make
the sound play in both ears.

For something a little larger, the Sony ICF-34 or the
equivalent (don't remember the current model no.).

Keith

No interest in Dxing but want to
recommend a GOOD FM broadcast radio (reasonably

small,

portable) for my daughter.
