Dan,

Is the Sync Detector on a Grundig Sat800 really better than the one in Sony
2010's (or better still, Sony SW07's and SW77's)? I'd really like to hear
an objective observation from someone that has both (or any combination).

I had planned to buy a Grundig Sat800 this month, but with Sony ditching
high-end shortwave portables, I wonder if I shouldn't grab a SW77 while I
can still get one "brand new."

Also, does anyone know if the Sat800's synch detector is a single-chip-based
solution, or is it a module made up of several components? (Just curious.)

manufacturers.

Nah, they don't need it. The Chinese already have the best Sync
Detector in world in the Satellit 800, courtesy of Drake.
