Thanks for the heads up, but I think I'll pass this time.
As much fun as it is to get new gear,
I just can't justify that radio at this time.
It doesn't do anything that my other radios don't do,
plus it lacks some features that I consider essential.
About the only feature I might enjoy is the auto tune and store,
but that's only useful if you move or change antennas often. Besides I
already have an Accurian AV receiver that does that and I find myself
going through the queue and deleting stuff it hit on that I didn't want.
My ideal portable would be the excellent eTón E1 receiver capability and
WWV clock synch, but with the addition of IR remote control, HD
decoding, and something that none of my current radios do, SCA and DRM.


Isn't SCA illegal to monitor?

That's not a sale- it's the going price- 299.00
Durham Radio www.durhamradio.com here in Ontario has a price of
299.95 which is what I paid a month or so ago. I was in the store on
Thursday, April 2nd, and they had a demo on display, so obviously they
have some in stock.
REMEMBER, the price here of 299 is CANADIAN. The U.S. dollar is
running at a premium of CLOSE TO 20% at the present time. So depending
on Durham Radio's policy, that could be a saving of 50.00 to 60.00,
except shipping charges add to cost. Their toll free line is (888)
426-1688. They close Saturday at 3 p.m.(E)
The 750 is a very good receiver, though lacking Sync and a few other
minor bells and whistles. With a good outdoor antenna, reception is
superb, with a very low noise floor, and believe me, you will hear
stations you never knew were there.
Good Lisyening to All from SW4ever...

SW4ever,
Keep up the "radio on-topic posts"! Between you, John Plimmer and
some other hardy souls, this group is otherwise pure garbage! I have
almost all the "noise" filtered out, and it still comes through when
someone "quotes" the plonkers. I am a boatanchor guy, Hammarlund
145/Lafayette HE-10/S-38, and four old portables: DX-440/Panasonic
RF-2200/Redsun 2100(bought on John Plimmer's thoughts of the model,
and an oddball, a Knight Star Roamer for hometown MW listening.
Keep up the SW and radio post, there are some of us out here still
listening!

You mean such as Muzak and the like?

No, not illegal to monitor, unless you are using such for commercial purposes.

I think non-commercial hobby listening is OK, unlike ECPA cell phones.
I don't think so.

I only did a cursory glance at the document
but didn't see any reference to SCA.

Note # C

"§ 2510. Definitions
....

(16) "readily accessible to the general public" means, with respect to a
radio communication, that such communication is not--

(A) scrambled or encrypted:

(B) transmitted using modulation techniques whose essential parameters
have been withheld from the public with the intention of preserving the
privacy of such communication;

(C) carried on a subcarrier or other signal subsidiary to a radio
transmission;

(D) transmitted over a communication system provided by a common
carrier, unless the communication is a tone only paging system
communication; or

(E) transmitted on frequencies allocated under part 25, subpart D, E, or
F of part 74, or part 94 of the Rules of the Federal Communications
Commission, unless, in the case of a communication transmitted on a
frequency allocated under part 74 that is not exclusively allocated to
broadcast auxiliary services, the communication is a two-way voice
communication by radio;"

I used to run the radio reading services on my bedside table as I slept
so that I would wake up with the days news having been subliminally
infused into my brain.

What brand receiver did you use?

I think it was Marcom or something similar.
The unit I had access to belonged to a neighbor of a friend in an old
farts building, and I used it until she recovered and returned home from
her hospitalization.
I would like to get another one that I could keep, maybe I'll have to
fake blindness or something g

You could try Ebay. That's where I got mine.

It only receives one of what I understand to be two subcarriers for
each FM frequency. Doubtless "made" for a specific service.

I put "made" in quotes because it's modified and rebadged as
"Bonneville International Corporation" (or something like that -- the
text is very small). Nonetheless, the radio itself has a very clear
Panasonic label affixed to the speaker grill cloth. (It's an RE-6518,
according to the back label.)

The thing blows on AM (to be expected, I guess) but with an external
FM wire antenna it's okay. And the SCA decoding is good enough.

Odd thing, though: for a small tabletop radio, it has one, LARGE
speaker (maybe 4 or 5 inches) that excels at filling a small room with
music. But it SUX at providing crisp human speech.

Anyways, I like to turn it on every few months to check out what's on
NYC's FM subcarriers.
