$299.99 http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=3523699 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.

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. -- Col. I.P.

I should have said that Radio Shack is now selling them. Got to see one today in the RS here. And it does look really good. I guess production problems have been solved (rumor says the Earthquake in China last year really cut down the production). I agree, it does look attractive. I'm hooked on the portability of the G5 and G6. The S350 is my bedtime SW radio. So the 750 looks nice but I really don't have the need for it and it won't do anything more than what I got now. The G5/G6 is basically the same as the 750, just bigger? Going to be tough to sell the 750 at $300 bucks at RS, especially if a novice sees the $100 S350 next to it. Especially if it isn't any better than the smaller brothers just in a bigger package. |

I picked up two speakers years ago that is exactly opposite of what you said. They came from those mobile MRI buses that go to shopping centers or your place of business. Me and another fella were given permission to gut the bus after the real expensive equipment was taken out. The speakers are called "Quam" and on the speakers it reads "Quam-The Sound Decision." There were eight inside the walls of the bus, I got four of them. They were made just for voice, it's pretty cool that music can sound so crappy but voice sounds scary clear plus, if that's possible. I have one scanner for each speaker, clearest voice speakers I've ever owned. |
