The (Tr)uSDX is a multi-band QRP radio that covers SSB, CW, AM and FM in a package not much bigger than the Mountain Topper Three Band radio.

I encountered some issues with the build, some to do with a malfunctioning major component, the other to do with the RoWaves implementation of the DL2MAN design. https://youtube.com/channel/UCqabnQWUjwH4K3FJtxbmrlA

DL2MAN has produced an interesting radio design though and I HIGHLY recommend buying through a manufacturer he recommends. https://dl2man.de/where-to-buy-trusdx/tv
