I had concidered the ICF-7600GR but I like the YB's non-absence of a
tuning wheel. I also really like the Grundig Satellit-800, but alas I
don't have 500$ to spend, and it's not as compact as I wanted. Any
other suggestions you guys may have? I also was thinking it would be
cool if maybe it had a microcassette recorder or the like so I could
listen later.


The YB-400PE has no tuning wheel either. That wheel you see is the fine-
tune for SSB, which the ICF-SW7600GR also has. The only radio in this
class with a tuning wheel for general tuning is the Sangean ATS-909, but it
has no synchronous lock on AM.
