If I were you I might be tempted to get one of the remaining Satellit 800's
from Universal. It's just a little more than the 320.

Between the 320 and the 909 I would get the 320.

Between the super 909 and the regular 909 I would get the regular. The
regular can be had for $219 and free shipping from Amazon/J &R. You could
also get a 909 and a Sony 7600 from the same place for $349 (includes free
shipping) which is the same cost as the 320. This would give you two radios.
Give the one you don't want to your wife, get her interested (hooked) and
then she will be the one wanting the radios. Also give her a regular
Christmas present in case Plan "A" doesn't work. Net Result = you get two
radios! WARNING: I take no responsibility for the outcome!

Also look at the deal that is offered on the 320 at dxtra.com
http://dxtra.com/rx320.html

P.S. Obviously if portability is a big issue than the 909 is the choice.
Keep in mind that the 320 could be used on a laptop and have a little
portability.

Hope this helps. Please let us know what you decide.

Hi All

With these being about equal in price and having a laptop to drive the
Ten Tec what would be the choice here.

I am a novice but both look very good after a few days research, I do
love both.

I need you help to decide based I think more on pure technical merit
than anything. Which scores higher in your opinions?

thanks
