I had a 7600 and the selectable sidebands were very asymmetric. Very

I've read of folks havin' this experience. Thankfully, I've not
experienced this with any of my Sonys ('SW77, '2010, 'SW7600G, 'SW07).
Before getting the 'SW7600G, the 'SW7600 was my primary travel radio.
I have found the sync detector feature in the 'SW7600G to more than
justify the upgrade. It certainly improves the radios selectivity in
AM mode. When I spent a number of months abroad a last year, I opted
to take the '606AP instead: that was a mistake. '606 is a decent
little radio, but you don't want to have it as your sole choice over
any sizeable duration.
