[IRCA] Re: Off topic. Vacation portable radio?



Barry,

Although over $100, the Sony ICF-7600GR, or a used
ICF-7600G would be my choice. The ICF-7600Gs are going
for pretty decent prices on Ebay these days. While the
Grundig S-350 appears to have gained a following,
there sure seems to be a lot of them listed as
non-working on Ebay. I wonder if some QC issues are
involved. I seem to recall references of a significant
number of QC issues surrounding the Grundig SAT 800
radios when they came out. The Sony travels well and
has a decent size vs. performance ratio. I take my
7600G or my modified RS DX-398 with me whenever I
travel and they have served me well. Have a safe and
enjoyable trip!

Good DX.

Craig
