Hi all, Me again (Mr Thick)

As you all probably know I am still relatively new to SW.
so please bear with me.
I have a Sony SW77 as my Portable ( well sort of portable-ish )
and I have the Icom R72 as my main house radio.
I also have an old Sony 7600D (known in the USA as the Sony ICF2003) which i
find excellent, believe it or not :-)

I have been looking at both the degan 1103 and the Sangean 909.
Against the radios I already have, do you think I would benefit at all from
getting either one or even both the aforementioned radio's

First off, congratulations on owning the 7600D, which is I think a
classic digital radio. I wore out the tuning buttons on it's
look-alike predecessor, the ICF2002. :-)

Assuming your current radios all work, they would seem to cover the
range in terms of frequencies, features and portability. I don't think
you will gain anything in performance by switching to a DE1103 or
ATS909. That said, we are all afflicted by GAS (Gear Acquisition
Syndrome) at one time or another, so I can empathize. Sometimes the
only cure is to give in and try that new radio!
