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:

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.

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!
