Trev,
There is a good site for researching such things at Radio Nederland
http://www2.rnw.nl/rnw/en/features/media/productreviews/rx_index.html
I'm not sure there is one that meets your "small" need and does SSB/CW.
I travel overseas with a Sony ICF-SW100, which is small (two AA
batteries), synthesised and sophisiticated. Using a passive reel-type
antenna (I think there is such a device available from Radio Shack,
though mine was made by Sangean), it seems plenty sensitive for SWBC.
That is my main use, so I can listen to news and such when in remote
locations (Patagonia in two weeks) without carrying a larger radio.
Before that I had a less-capable Sony ICF SW-1, but it died 5-6 years ago.
In a larger format the Sony 7600GR does SSB/CW. Uses four AAs. I take
it camping but not overseas.
Judging from the size and features, a kit of this sophisication and size
would have lots of SMT devices, and be gnarly to design and build.
73, Phil

Hi Gang,
What I have in mind is a very
small, pocket sized rig, 2 AA cells for power...
Now, I have found a couple of models, but they don't have a BFO for CW, and
don't do SSB either, AM only. Now, I'd like to find one that does it all
from 100 KHz to 30 MHz...any suggestions...
