Hi Robert:
If your just going to listen to shortwave, I suggest you get the AN-LP-1;
I bought one & use it whenever I travel.

It ALSO has a built in Pre-Selector..
Neat little gadget.

There are some things I miss on Broadcast, but I suppose I can buy / bring a
Kiwa Folding Antenna with me; or string out 30 feet of wire or whatever

Of the Sony accessory antennas that are recommended, which one works "best"
with the 7600GR? The AN-LP1, the AN-1 or the AN-102. I've decided to get
one of them, but I'm not sure which one. I'm just getting into listening to
SW and I'd prefer an antenna that would give me the best chance of pulling
in stations cleanly. All three antennas seem easy enough to transport.

I've read a lot of good things about the AN-LP1 and very little about the
other antennas.

TIA

See if a plain wire-antenna does the trick before you invest in active
antennas like the ones you mention. I think the AN-LP1 is more advanced than
the AN-1 ; I have the latter , it works - but the inside/circuitry looks
quite simple ......

I can only offer feedback on the AN-LP1...it compares favorably with my 70'
random wire strung up outside when used on the 7600GR and my Yaesu FT-840 HF
rig. This model is very portable and well designed.

I would suggest an alternative, the Torus Tuner SW Loop. The biggest
advantage is it requires no batteries and in my estimation is slightly more
selective than the Sony Active Loop.
