Are there small portable Morse radios available for sale?
If I did get into Morse code, I would want to purchase a small, portable radio to send messages. Portability, for me, would be huge if it were possible to find a portable radio.
Also, how small do these radios typically get? Is it possible to get something as small as a walkee-talkee?
Radios which do morse code can be very small! Personally, I built one and put it in an Altoids tin. I probably could have fit it in something smaller even but you can’t beat the price and they’re everywhere. It’s a 30m rock-mite transceiver and transmits half a watt. It was only $29 from smallwonderlabs.com. Another interesting tiny morse transceiver is the ATS-3b, which has a VFO, operates on 6 bands and up to 4 watts and will still fit in an Altoids tin!
