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

["Dennis Gibson" <wb6tnb@xxxxxxx>]

Craig - who modified your DX-398 and what was done? I am not happy with my stock DX-398, especially the sensitivity (lack of) on SW with the whip antenna. There is no excuse for that in a $250.00 radio. Fortunately I got mine for $100.00 when RS blew them out and $75.00 of that was other people's money.

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!
