Default Shortwave radio with built in ferrite antenna and synch detector? Beside 7600GR

dead of night schrieb:

Hi. I'm looking for a good, brand new shortwave radio with a built in
AM Ferrite antenna and a synch detector. Is there anything else out
there beside the 7600GR that has these features?


Both the ICF-2010 and ICF-SW77 are discontinued now, as is the Grundig
Satellit 700 (and the less well performing 500). I don't know what
became of this Kchibo thing; other than that one could wait for the
Redsun RP3000 which reportedly is ready but production start will depend
on RP2100 sales. The DE1108 still is in development so shouldn't be
expected any time soon.

The Satellit 800 (nothing much to do with Grundig actually, and Drake
SW8 inside) could be an option but is known to be suffering from fairly
strong birdies on MW, so best used with an external antenna anyway.
