Yep
Not sure if the local ham shop will look at the 7600D for me.
Hardware OK I think its the tranny on the power switching that's defunct.
I have therefore resurrected my old 2001D and realise what a wonderful box
of tricks it is.
I will sell the Radio Shack 394 that I got from Ebay for fun now I have
repaired the innards of the 2001D.

It took a trip down stairs .. not a problem apart from the internal
batteries are very heavy and they broke their plastic mount and cracked a
board. Now glued and soldered wires to bridge ... what box to come back to
life after that little sojourn!

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".?
