Hi
I am new to shortwave radio. I have not even got a radio yet, however I am
to purchase a used one today (Saturday 5 nov)
I have the choice of two, of a friend. they are both in mint condition,
boxed with manuals etc.
They are the Sony ICF 7600GR
and the Radio-shack DX-394
The price does not matter as they are both priced the same
Which of the two would you say would be the best buy.
I will want to listen to the shortwave radio stations, the radio amatuers
on
ssb and also any utility stations I can pick up
thanks for any help
cheers

The 7600's 'AM sync' will be a feature that you would enjoy. It does
reduce the audio distortion caused by 'selective fading,' and it also
effectively reduces adjacent channel 'splatter'... once you get the
hang of using it.

Here are a couple of groups to join for ongoing info regarding the 7600
(both before or after you buy):

Here is a website that details everything you'd want to know about the
history of all the 7600 series, including modifications for the 7600GR:
