I have a 7600GR & a G-5. The 7600 is better built but the G-5 sounds
considerably better. If your primary intrest is DX, the 7600 has an
edge (although the G-5 is every bit as sensitive). The G-5 is much
better for general all around listening. I put my 7600 back in the box
to keep for later and use the G-5 bedside, and to take along in the
motor home. I also have an E-100 for a pocket radio, that works better
than you would expect.

I plan on buying a portable shortwave receiver, and am only
considering models that I can purchase new. So far, the ones that have
caught my attention are the Kaito KA2100, Sony ICF-SW7600, Sangean ATS
909, Sangean ATS 505, and the Grundig G5.

I'd like to hear from people who own one or more of these sets.
Obviously, I'm not looking for a feature/spec comparison, as I can do
that on my own. What I want are opinions on build quality, ease of
use, real-life effectiveness, etc.

TIA.
