That's right Wigg, the US version is the "S"-ystem version packaged with an
active antenna. In Europe, and elsewhere I believe, it is sold without the
active antenna at a slightly reduced cost. The radios are otherwise
identical.

Are you considering a SW100 to replace your defunct 7600D? A very nice
portable which I seriously covet.

I have seen both mentioned but cant track the difference.
Are there two radios?
Is it just people miss quoting the number and omitting the "S".?
