Thanks Dogg, good points. Must admit I've also been tempted by the Sony
ICF-SW7600GR. Why can't I find it on the Sony web site though (at least
their Canadian site) - is it discontinued? Hard to find?

I think that Sony is phasing out their shortwave radios. That's what
I've heard, anyway. They've already done away with most of their models.
The Degen 1102 has far better ergonomics and almost as good performance
as the 1103, for the same price. I greatly enjoy my 1102, I use it
exclusively for the time being while my Yaesu is out of commission.
