I hope someone got it for Christmas. I've had several 7600G/GR's, and this is the first one that worked perfectly. All of the others had one sideband that sounded muffled when using the sync det. That was my biggest complaint with the 7600 series. This one is a real pleasure to use! I've been comparing it to my Degen 1103 using just the whip antennas and they are very close except on FM. The Degen wins by far. I nearly always use headphones and the audio on the Degen is RICH and full compared to the 7600GR. But when there's noise or interference the Sony wins hands down on SW and SSB. Both are very sensitive using just the whip antennas compared to my DX-398. For $60 the Degen is quite a bargain, but heck I got the new 7600GR for only $130. I read that you can get a 7600GR for $110 from Bennett Bros. I got mine from J & R in 3 days via UPS ground which is amazing during the holidays IMO. DeWayne |

Farmer Christmas struggled down my chimney with a large package and out
popped an Icom IC-756 PRO III which is now working side by side with my Drake R8B. The performance of the new Icom is extremely good = very tight filters, amazing spectrum frequency scope, very good audio. Generally seems able to clarify that very faint audio of weak DX somewhat better than the Drake. But the Drake's not going to the scrap heap just yet, it's still an awesome radio. A very HAPPY CHRISTMAS to you too Burr in the great Republic and to all of you out there = have a great family day. It's been a sweltering 35C/95F here at the Southern tip of Africa with the summer thunder storms kicking up a huge static on the radio's. and I'm struggling to digest all the Brazilian turkey I ate... -- John Plimmer, Montagu, Western Cape Province, South Africa South 33 d 47 m 32 s, East 20 d 07 m 32 s Icom IC-756 PRO III with MW mods RX Drake R8B, SW8 & ERGO software Sony 7600D GE SRIII BW XCR 30, Braun T1000, Sangean 818 & 803A.
