If you're just getting started, I wouldn't recommend either the 800 or
the R-75. I would recommend the SW7600GR. You can get one for under $200 and it's a fine little readio. Use it with 20 or 30 feet of wire out the window and you'll be off and running. It also has SSB capabilitites, which you should familiarize yourself with even if you're primarily interested in broadcast listening. If you've had the SW7600GR for a while and find that your enthusiasm for shortwave listening continues to grow, then consider moving up. I personally wouldn't recommend the Eton Satellit 800, though (unless you can get a really good deal on a used one). My experience with it (which is contradicted by the experience of many others) has been disappointing. Besides, it's not really a portable and there are vastly superior units (like the R-75) in essentially the same price range. If you want to mess around remotely with an R-75 just to see what you can see, go he http://www.ralabs.com/webradio/. Best, Steve Tempest wrote in message . .. Hi, I'm wanting to get into SW listening but I'm torn betwen those 2 models and I'm not 100% sure what characgteristics are the most/least relevant of each. Which radio would be best for a noob getting into SW anew? If not those, what other radio and why? I only have about six-hundred bucks to spend. Thanks |
