From time to time, Amazon and J&R Music World offer them on sale for

about $129.00. Keep checking their sites.

I bought two more of them (giving me a total of five) from Amazon this
past December for $129.15 each with free shipping.

While not "perfect" (what radio is?), it's definitely the best overall
small portable SW receiver available right now. It would be ideal for a
child as she will never outgrow it.

Best,

You can add the audio outputs and reduce the internal noise
on a weak station. On the other hand, you increase the frequency
of losing sync lock on a weak station, so it may not pay.

Curiously, the audio phase is reversed in the 7600G (no R) so you can't
add one of those in the mix usefully.

A better approach costwise is buy a better synch detector'd receiver,
like the old 2010, for weak stations, of course.


I'd add the R8B but I don't know that it's better costwise than
14 7600GR's by experience.
