Hi Brian,

Good catch there! I got one a few years back (at a significantly
higher price). It is all you say it is, however I don't consider it to
be a real great MW DX machine.

On the sync detect question....it does work pretty well, but it is not
in the league of the 2010.

This probably says more about me than the 700, but I have to dive into
the manual a lot to be refreshed on "how to do stuff" - it may not be
the most intuitive radio ever.

There is/was a book sold by Universal Radio called The Great 700, or
something like that. Has manual in it, tips, schematic, etc. Very
worthwhile to get.

The 700 is my best portable for SSB reception for sure. It really
shines there. Has a fine tune adjustment (why the 2010 didn't include
that is beyond me).

A radio with the best of the 700 and the 2010...now I think that would
be the ultimate!

Have fun with the 700!

Brian - I used to want one of those really badly. If I'm not mistaken, it
has a sync detector, right? How well does that work? And does it have
SSB
capability?

Regards,

Greg


Me too and I finally got lucky. Yea it has synch. It works well. And it has
SSB capability. It's one of the best sounding portable radios I've heard, if
not the best. It has separate bass and treble controls and a good speaker
which is probably why? I was seeing how sensitive it was and compared it to
the R-5000 on the outside ant. It's quite sensitive for a portable. Of
course it's no R-5000 but a good DXer in it's own right. I think my Sony
2010 has a little better ears but not by much and the 700 sounds a lot
better. The FM and MW broadcast bands sound great and I think I may ad this
to the list of good MW DX machines.

Good deal Brian. I'll keep looking. Maybe there is one out there for me.

Looks like you have aquired a nice music room too.There is a guy in
North Mississippi (Starkville or somewhere around there I think,I once
saw something on tv news about that) whom builds Guitars and with the
leftover fine wood from building the Guitars,he uses that to build/make
fine writing pens.

Heck of a note,isn't it? U.S.money is F.I.A.T.money.But with enough
F.I.A.T.money,one can buy gold and silver and diamonds and platinum and
fine music instruments and radios and almost anything.Old Song (Jack of
Diamond) that dates back to the 1940's or 1950's I barely remember a
line or two of it,Jack of Diamondddd,,,,, Jack of Diamonddddd,,,,,,, I
