The 7600G is the only one that can beat all-too-common distortion from
selective fading. Radio Japan on 6145 00:00 UTC from Sackville is
distorted beyond belief on the YB400, very often.

The result is that if you get the YB400, you will often wish for
the 7600G; the reverse is not true.

The audio is nicer on the YB400 but it's not anything you can't live
with; the fading distortion is a killer.

(Selective fading distortion sounds like, and is in fact, overmodulation
distortion, only at the receiver's end. It does not mean a weak
signal, in fact occurs most horribly on strong signals. It only
requires that the carrier has faded more than the sidebands at this
or that moment, but all may be strong still.)
