? Based on what testing, analysis, facts, etc . . . ?


At least two posts on this on the 7600GR Yahoo group in the past two
weeks. Check it out.

SSB signals can't be completely clarified into intelligible speech.
Lost the ability to tune a broadcast signal in selectable ECSS, as can
easily be done, usually. Loses sync lock easily when in sync mode,
makes a lots of tonal noise (howling) around the loss of sync.

Interestingly, no problems at all with my 14 year old Sony 7600G.

I've been busy playing with a Radio Shack DX-390 the past few days.
Makes me miss my old DX-440, which I gave to my brother years ago. I
may have to pick one of those up on eBay...

Have a happy day, RHF!
