Finally common ground! I remain unable to fathom the distinct
differences between the two claimed by some--particularly in favor of
the Sony. In fact, I think that the FM performance of the 909 is
actually superior, particularly when you consider it's, at a minimum,
a somewhat better -sounding- radio. The Sony may have a slight edge
in AM sensitivity (I use a RS loop), but I'm not convinced its
meaningful, at least in the mid-Atlantic where I am.

Don't the waves get the radio wet?

I couldn't detect any differences either. The sync detector was, at
least on this particular set, very ineffective. It may as well not have
been there at all. Almost a hundred percent of the usage is indoors, so
plugging in the antenna is no big deal. I'm also hard pressed to find
much difference between the 909 and the Superadio on MW reception.
Speaker size notwithstanding, the 909 is preferable to me because of the
digital frequency display. With the Superadio, it's guesswork. I've been
tempted to start poking around the insides with a cheap frequency
counter. Once I found out where I can get a count, I'd wire a jack into
the body for future use.

I haven't tried the GE with an external wire yet, so I can't comment.


Many people seem to have a need to 'tweak' the 7600 to improve it.

In all fairness, there are also lots of modifications for the 909.
