Hello, I'm interested in trying shortwave listening. I have narrowed
my choices to the Kaito 1103, and Sony SW7600GR.


I would very much appreciate any opinions on which you prefer, and
why.


Also, is lack of wide/narrow switch on the Sony a problem?


Thanks.


Buy the Sony! Â*It is superior in every way. Â*It has the famous Sony
Sync Detector.
If you find shortwave boring and a waste of time at least you will be
able to resell the Sony.
The Kaito has Zero, as in 0baMa0- "0" resale value.


The Sony SW7600 has TERRIBLE AUDIO! Why anyone would recommend this
radio for anything other that SSB is beyond me.
