I'm thinking of buying ones of these radios and would appreciate any
comments on performance when tuning SSB signals. Basically, I'm after a
portable radio for (mainly) listening to the amateur bands when away from
home.

The two main things I want to know are;

* From the reviews I've read, I believe the 100E can tune SSB in 100Hz
steps, thus negating the need for a separate fine tuning control as used on
the 7600 (someone please shout if I've got this wrong).

* How do the two compare in sensitivity, selectivity etc - I'm not really
interested in all the bells & whistles of either radio - just want to know
how they compare at handling signals - the basic stuff.

Since the 100E costs more - I'm trying to determine whether it's worth the
extra cost.

I'd be interested in any comments no matter how brief or detailed

Cheers

Mark
