The 7600GR is by far my favorite.
Over the next few weeks I'm going to do some side by side comparisons
with the 7600GR and the KA-1102 and PL-550. I can easily look up the
numbers for all of those radios, but I want to hear them all now in
practice. I'll be sure to post my results.

I would love to see the results. I have the Sony and the KA-1102 as well. I
have compared them extensively. The Sony is of course the superior radio
but you have to love the Kaito for the price. The Sony is better at AM
DXing and SSB but I sometimes find it easier on the Kaito to tune into SSB
although the audio quality is not as good as on the Sony. On SW I see
almost no difference in the radios. The only thing I dont like about the
Sony is the display. The Kaito gives you much more information. There isn't
any Meter Band indicator on the Sony or button to quickly jump from one
meter band to the next. If the Sony had a display like the Kaito along with
the light buttons I would like it more, and if you add a tunning knob there
would be no more arguments in favor of the Sangean 909. These seem like
very simple modifications that I would love to see.
