"Roy" wrote in message ... Looking to purchase a good quality radio under $150. What features should I look for? Thanks IMO, the previously mentioned Sony 7600GR (available in your price range) has the three most useful portable features--SSB, synch detection, and sufficient preset memories so a person new to the hobby doesn't have to commit frequencies to memory. But, with the availability of the Degan DE-1102 and DE-1103 new on eBay, I think another question is relevant--do you want a radio that (based on word of mouth) is an excellent performer and still costs considerably less. If the portable is to be the only radio you're likely to get, I'd probably spring for the Sony. But if you think you might want to upgrade later to a new/used tabletop in ,say, the $500 range, the Degans enable you to get a start with a good, reasonable priced portable, see if you enjoy what you hear, and put the extra $$$ away for the *next* radio . |
