Had you saved a few more pennies from your paper route you could have solved

I am not sure that should respond to something like this at all, but
just for the sake of fairness - 7600GR doesn't appear to be superior.
Reception and sound are not better than in De/Ka 1103, display is not
too good either, no battery charger (I hope there is no need to explain
about AC adaptor and SW), and also a bit larger and heavier than 1103
(this is important in my outdoor uses). Somehow Sony have managed to
come up with item inferior to 1103, - which is confirmed by slightly
lower ratings in all the rviews that I've seen. 7600GR is no longer
manufactured, if I'm correct, - and there is nothing newer or better
from Sony to replace it.
