The Realistic DX-150 and DX-160 could show up within the £100 limit. These are not exactly small sets, but will run on 12V so are "portable". I have a DX-160 (kindly gifted from Hybrid Tellies) and these are entry level SW sets; better than most broadcast receivers, but not up to the standards of a real communications receiver. Lots of info on Google, including various mods.
