One other advantage to the 909 is the tuning knob.
I'm not crazy about the tuning buttons on my 7600 GR.



That is why I bought the Sangean instead..and a DX 398. The tuning knob
and the fact that the sync detect did nothing on the Sony I tried first.

Did you do any mod's to either?

Nothing yet. There seem to be some trade-offs involved in most of the
modifications. If the customization bug ever hits, I still have a spare,
stock radio to fall back on. I have adapted a stereo jack for the
external antenna port that overrides the built in AM ferrite rod. It's
an easy external change.

I did the whip antenna matching transformer (balun) mod' to my 398. It
really helped to make it more sensitive on the whip. I also removed the
tuning knob detent mechanism to make the knob turn smoothly.

Hello all,

The best mod on the 909/DX398 could be adding the Sync detect. I have a 909 and
a Sony SW100. I usually prefer the 909 for the general listening and "browsing"
the SW. When I have two stations on the same frequency, I then try the SW100
with Sync. It helps...

Does anyone knows wether this is possible ?

Never heard myself ! This is just a wish... ;-)

I think it might be too complicated to implement.

Possible but not practical. AFAIK it hasn't been done.
