I'm considering 2 different shortwave receivers and would appreciate the
benefit of your experience. I want to be able to copy SSB and CW as well as
general radio, so that limits the market.

The 2 I'm considering are the Eton/Grundig 4000A and the Sony 7600GR. They
appear to be pretty much equivalent in features. What would be your
preference? Or is there something else that's better in the same
portable/feature/price range?

Thanks,

Both radios are junk. Get a nice Palstar or ICOM.

The Sony has a sync detector. The Grundig does not have this feature. I
would not buy a radio that did not have it.
