Oddly enough, though I ordered mine quickly after the news
on the group about the super price, I never got it. I figured
I had fallen into a grey area resulting from some kind
of slop in their inventory accounting - early enough to get the
order accepted, but apparently after they'd all run out. Tuesday
I receive word that my order has just shipped, and sure enough
at the low price. I don't have it yet, but USPS's tracking site
says it arrived at my local post office this morning.

Anyone else have a similar experience?

It's been a couple of weeks now since several people scored these

actually bought a couple from someone else for about $290 and is now
trying to resell at least

For others who bought them, what's your impression? While I love what
they did in terms of miniaturization, I have to say I'm not knocked
out by the performance. It's decent, but I don't think it's two bills
(retail) better than a 7600GR.

How does the SW07 synch detection compare to the 2010?

My SW100's is markedly inferior to the 2010 though better than the 7600G[R].

The test is what happens on weak signals. The 7600G generates noise and
howls; the 2010's discreetly turns itself off and you don't notice it.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk.

I'll check it out when I receive it. I have
a 2010 but I'm not so crazy about it. The
sync detector is cool enough, but it seems to me
if the stock filters were better you wouldn't have
to depend on it as much. And the FM sucks,
at least on mine.

Sync works fine on the SW07. No howling. Doesn't shut
itself off, but it's not a nuisance. Works nicely
when lock is achieved.

It's a nice radio. A lot of digital hash so weak signals
seem to get lost, but very good when conditions are good
and signals are stronger.
