are both nice SW Program Listeners Radios ~ RHF

The 750 lacks synchronous detection, better just hope that station you're
listening to isn't affected in a way that could be improved by this feature.

That's a good one but the big box sound of the first two you suggested would
likely be more pleasant for extended 'program' listening, if there were
consistently stable enough signals for the 750 or if not then the 800.
I'll bet that our E1's would have a more mellow long term easy listening sound
than the 7600. But someone looking to carry a more portable unit into the field
would be well served by either the Sony or the Eton.

Yes the Eton E1s have a 'nice' long-term
Listening Sound, and some claim that the
E1's AM-SYNC is better that the GS800.

Usually for the 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radios
like the Sony ICF-SW7600GR Receiver

* You can use a single small 4" Audio Speaker
to hear the sound better.
