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.
