That has not been my experience with the Sony 2010 anyway. It very
much can make the difference between intelligibility or not. The
synch detect on the 7600g(r) can make a difference but it is not nearly
as dramatic on the 2010.

The synch detect on the R75 (after Kiwa mods) also is very effective.

The synch detect on the Grundig Sat 700 was not that great.

I have heard that the synch detect on the new E1 is quite effective and
I have heard the same about the circuit on the Drake R8B. I don't have
any experience with these 2 radios however.

This was just a Troll in my opinion and not a serious statement.

I had a 7600 and the selectable sidebands were very asymmetric. Very
annoying.

I've read of folks havin' this experience. Thankfully, I've not
experienced this with any of my Sonys ('SW77, '2010, 'SW7600G, 'SW07).
Before getting the 'SW7600G, the 'SW7600 was my primary travel radio.
I have found the sync detector feature in the 'SW7600G to more than
justify the upgrade. It certainly improves the radios selectivity in
AM mode. When I spent a number of months abroad a last year, I opted
to take the '606AP instead: that was a mistake. '606 is a decent
little radio, but you don't want to have it as your sole choice over
any sizeable duration.

I drag a portable XM along with my 606A. I'm really anxious to get
the double conversion Kaito shirt pocket radio.

How wide are the filters in a 2010? Maybe they used the synch detector
(ie. image reject mixer) as a way to cheap out on the bandpass filter.
