The only SW radio I've had in that size and class is the ICF-SW100. It pulled in signals every bit as good as the larger 2010. It has SSB and effective sideband synchronization. Plus, a novel memory system in which you could populate "pages" with memories. Each memory could even have a text label. Pretty nifty.

Weak points: way too expensive, drop it once and, thanks to the weight of the battery, the back side hits the pavement and cracks the weak little battery compartment door. Many used SW100s have broken doors, including mine. I got tired of holding it together with rubber bands and sold it a few years ago.

I've wanted a replacement for the 100 ever since. I'm interested to hear the SW20s are good radios.
