that saying is stupid and not true. the new Sangean's are excellent
examples of OVERPRICED radios

there are some excellent low cost receivers, the tecsun PL-550 is an
excellent example, the kaito/degen ka-1102 is another example. smart
shopping can find some excellent deals around $100 in the used market.

If you take the saying literally it's not only true... it should be
almost self-evident. If you take the saying as it is intended, it is
generally true, i.e., there may be exceptions. In fact, you've proved
the truth of the saying here since $100.00 is a greater sum than the
$40.00 figure quoted by the first poster. Show him a superior radio
for less than $40.00, and you will have debunked the saying, I'd say.
Not to be pedantic....

Regarding the Sony 7600 "family", I just sold one on eBay for about
the same price as that PT-633 (I would say that was its value). With a
little patience I'm sure another will pop up. A very nice portable,
I'd say.
