[IRCA] Ultralight stable - updated spreadsheet attached

[satya@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Gary:

After more searching, in addition to the battle-seasoned T615, SRF-59 and
DT-210V, it seems like the possibles that haven't participated in a
shoot-out are:
 - Sangean DT-120V/180V
 - Sangean DT-220V
 - CCrane SWP (Redsun RP300)
 - Eton E100 (Tecsun RP200)
 - anybody else?
The last two (CCrane and Eton) have a few more bells and whistles, which
would be nice, and I wonder how they compete with the Sony models
(depending on how they fare, the best of the two might be my new alarm
clock!).  I think you said you already have a Sangean DT-180V, DT-220V and
a CCrane SWP for the 2008 shoot-out - do you have the E100/RP200, or have
you ruled it out in the past?

So...the attached spreadsheet reflects these worthy competitors. I assume
for now the performance of the super-tiny DT-120V/180V will be the same as
the DT-210V - please prove me wrong in the 2008 shootout!  Also, I thought
it was interesting to detail the 7600GR just to see what a few more
dollars, ounces and cubic inches gets you.

Speaking of size, weight and cost, it seems that an "Ultralight" is
something that:
 1.  weighs less than 10 ounces w/o batteries
 2.  is less than 20 cubic inches
 3.  costs less than $100
These criteria include all of the above, and exclude the Degen 1103's,
Sony 7600's, super-expensive micro Sonys (SW1, SW100), etc.  How does that
sound for an operable definition of an Ultralight???  I suppose we could
grandfather in the expensive micro Sonys if people are still using
them....
