Question - Has anyone actually Timed the Sangean ATS-909 (RadioShack DX398) -vice- the Sony ICF-SW7600GR Side-by-Side ? Re-Chargable Batteries : In either case with most 'portable' AM/FM Shortwave Radios where man-made-noise is an issue and the use of Batteries for Power is recommended for improved receiption. Then the use of Rechargable Batteries is highly recommended as a way of greatly reducing the Cost of Battery Operation of the Radio. just my two cents worth - iane ~ RHF .

Sangean ATS-909 vs. Sony ICF-7600GR
Well, I own Grundigs. I consider them to be very good products.
They package them under the name "Eton" these days...you know how corporations consolidate. I have owned a "909" Sangean, and would not reccomend it. The reasons I didn't care for its performance are outlined in this thread, by other writers. If Grundig appeals to you at all, check out heartlandamerica.com Darren |

Hi Ngu,
If you're needing a fuller idea of the various features offered by each of these sets, you might visit the radiolabs website and download the user manuals for the '909 and 'SW7600GR: http://www.radiolabs.com/support/downloads.php junius ngu wrote: My experience with SW so far is limited to inexpensive analogue tuning radio and a dirt cheap Kaide KK959. I've decided to get something decent and have read quite a number of reviews on Sangean ATS-909 and Sony ICF-7600GR on the web but am unable to decide which one to buy. The Sangean seems to have more features and better packaged (including the AC adaptor) but costs about 1/3 more than the Sony. It is also larger. Given the difference in price, do you guys think they are of different class to render a comparison meanlingless? Like you don't compare a Toyota Camry with a Mercedes S class, but you can do so with a Lexus LS430. BTW, both the Sangean ATS-909 and Sony ICF-7600GR have been around since 2001. Should I wait for their replacement model? |

rec.antiques.radio+phono news group.One of those guys over there,a few
weeks ago,posted his website/homepage about hot rodding an AARadio with a better AM Ferrite core home made Antenna and lots more information too.(something like that anyway) You can build just as good,or better,Antenna than you can buy.I know this for a Fact. cuhulin |

I tried the 7600 and was very disappointed in the sync function. It made no discernible difference in reception. This may have been an isolated situation, but I remember others complaining about the same thing. A sync detector will make no difference when listening to a local flame-thrower because it is not needed in that situation. Try to listen to a barely perceptible flea power station and then turn on the sync detector. That's what its for! It is for DXing not flame-thrower program listening! Don't confuse the two. |

I have had the 909 since it came out and and I like it a lot back then I was traveling alot and I wanted reliable information rather than the local tv and music radio. I had been a ham back then too but did not have a transmiter with me so I used the SSB portion of the radio to listem to the hams chating ;-) ! I ran it off of batteries and had a long wire I droped out of the hotel room window! Not the best setup but it worked! John |
