I got my new 7600GR from Etronics today. For the most part, it performs and
sounds just like my old 7600G did. The variable attenuator is a nice
addition. The page system memory is a nice arrangement too. Most
importantly, I'm totally psyched to have a portable with ssb selectable am
synch and real ssb capabilities. I have 9475 on now at 22:38 and I am
using the ssb selectable am sync. When I select usb, I can clearly hear
some QRM. When I switch to LSB, I get a wonderfully clear signal. I've
read many comments in posts that say the 7600's ssb selectable am sync
really doesn't count for much. I've had the radio only for a few hours and
I can say for sure, that it matters quite a bit. Also.....I can now use
ecss again without being seated in front of my R-75. The fine tuning dial
is very manageable. I've used the KA-1102, YB-400,PL-550 and a whole host
of other portables. The 7600GR is by far my favorite. Over the next few
weeks I'm going to do some side by side comparisons with the 7600GR and the
KA-1102 and PL-550. I can easily look up the numbers for all of those
radios, but I want to hear them all now in practice. I'll be sure to post
my results.
