Best receiver (most sensitive) I've ever heard with the antenna whip collapsed fully down. But with the whip fully extended sensitivity doesn't improve much, and there is no antenna jack. Antenna up: sensitivity is F (compared to other portables) Antenna down: A (it beats the **** out of my Sony 7600 whips down; whips up the Trav7 is a joke compared to the Sony). But for a rig with everything in the pocket and phones, IPOD style, the Traveler 7 beats all, amazing. It is dual conversion. It didn't sell because there is no band switch, so you have to use up all the 10 SW memories to jump from band to band, so in effect there are no memories left to dedicate for fave stations. So really, you have to manual tune up and down the band, or use direct entry of freqs. which are hard to remember. Yes. This is the Tecsun PL-707A, which still shows up on eBay at very low prices. It's been on a few international trips with me and always pulls them in. |
