Anyone have an opinion on the "Super" 909 located at
http://www.radiolabs.com/products/re...s/super909.php
?

I am considering taking up shortwave radio. I have a while before I'll
have the money, I am just looking for information. Thanks-



It is overpriced. You can do much better for your money.

Sony 7600gr: about $ 140.00 (IMO the best portable on the market and it has
a ssb selectable am sync. Good sensitivity, it is selective and has
reasonable audio. It is also very good for medium wave DX'ing. Great for
resolving weak signals)

Grundig YB-400: about $130.00 (Very good portable with amazing audio
quality. Also sensitive and selective.)

Tecsun PL-550: about $50.00 (Amazing value for dollar. Sensitive, great
audio, has lots of great features and has a push button tuner as well as a
knob.)

Degen 1103: about $50.00 (reported to be very sensitive and selective. also
has a tuning knob. I have never used one, but I'm told it is a great little
radio)

For the money I'd say get one of the radio's above rather then the
Super-909. Especially the 7600gr. Even though it is less expensive, IMHO
it is a better radio for swl. If you want to spend over $ 320.00 at least
walk away with a Sat-800 or an R-75.
