I assume computer controlled Shortwave Radios require good computer
sound cards.So,if a computer sound card's audio chip bites the dust
after long use,that would require a new sound card or audio chip? For
computer sound cards and some other good computer related thingys,I
reccomend www.si87.com and www.monitorworld.com
I do not own a computer controlled Shortwave Radio,so I certainly am not
an expert.

If I were you I might be tempted to get one of the remaining Satellit 800's
from Universal. It's just a little more than the 320.

Between the 320 and the 909 I would get the 320.

Between the super 909 and the regular 909 I would get the regular. The
regular can be had for $219 and free shipping from Amazon/J &R. You could
also get a 909 and a Sony 7600 from the same place for $349 (includes free
shipping) which is the same cost as the 320. This would give you two radios.
Give the one you don't want to your wife, get her interested (hooked) and
then she will be the one wanting the radios. Also give her a regular
Christmas present in case Plan "A" doesn't work. Net Result = you get two
radios! WARNING: I take no responsibility for the outcome!

Also look at the deal that is offered on the 320 at dxtra.com
http://dxtra.com/rx320.html

P.S. Obviously if portability is a big issue than the 909 is the choice.
Keep in mind that the 320 could be used on a laptop and have a little
portability.

Hope this helps. Please let us know what you decide.

Hi All

With these being about equal in price and having a laptop to drive the
Ten Tec what would be the choice here.

I am a novice but both look very good after a few days research, I do
love both.

I need you help to decide based I think more on pure technical merit
than anything. Which scores higher in your opinions?

thanks

Paul:

Getting a " Regular " 909

http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=18960

AND a 7600 from J&R sounds like a plan..

http://www.jr.com/JRProductPage.process?Product=1627439


They are both Very good radios.. AM / FM / Shortwave..

- also, string up a good outdoor antenna. Helps with reception of faint
stations..

- Radiolabs doubtless does good work;

but two for the price of one..?

use one for DX / Broadcast listening, the other for picking up 11.175
USB transmissions..

- & an " extra" gift.. just in case

- Happy Holidays..

Paul, make sure you check out the Eton E1-XM portable, in case you haven't
heard about it. The tuning resolution is much better than on the 909. I've
seen it on sale for $400. RL Drake had a hand in the E1 so that has to be a
huge plus!

I have an aun modified ATS909 and the RX 320 using SWLog control
software. The ATS 909 is used only in poower outages and hurricanes. The
RX 320 with Bob's software is incredible.

How many of y'all besides meself have read or heard (if y'all are ahead
of the herd,Please dont forget to look back once in a while to see if I
am still here,,, if y'all are wearing Spurs,dont squat to low on them
Cattle Drives) that them sangean radios are notorious about them front
panel digital readouts goin buggy and bonkers and it cost about fifty
dollars or more to get em fixed?
cuhulin

may be why Radio Labs goes out of its way to place in the blue leds

I don't know but that would be a bummer to have the display go, brings
down the whole machine and places much doubt in Quality of Sangean!

once you lose a Customer it is very hard or impossible to get him back

also news like your message here spreads and we try to protect one
another from dubious products

thanks for the warning
