I find the sync feature exceptionally useful on the 7600G & 7600GR. I
do prefer having a tuning knob, however. But of the compact portables
with tuning knobs that are on the market today, the Eton E5/Grundig G5
is probably a better choice than the '909. The E5/G5 has better
sensitivity off the whip and the tuning knob isn't plagued by
chuffing. And the price is much better than that of the Sangean.
That's my take on it, at any rate.


The US Circuit City seems to have those for 99 dollars. I will keep an
eye on the Canadian version (The Source) to see if they are having the
same sale. The G5 is now 150 dollars, which is pretty good, but another
fifty dollars less would make it a mandatory purchase.
