I bought an S350 Grunding and was irritated by the drift. I would like to tune into a station and would slow tune. I returned and bought a YB400PE Grunding. It was much better than the S350, but the SSB performance was disappointing. Also I just could not block a number of weak signals or to a station very close to a powerful transmitter. I went to the Sony 7600GR and were very happy. The synchronous detection helps a lot. You can choose between USB and LSB in making synchronous detection. This will help you with those annoying neighbors stations.If in Lower freq. select USB and vice versa. The sound quality is slightly lower than the YB400. He also has a handy snooze button. But I have a person who buys SW radio for audio quality or as an alarm clock to find. The YB400 comes with an AC adapter, but Sony does not Reel The antenna is included in both. If you are looking for a radio that can set up weak signals, allowing SSB functionality, synchronous detection, variable damping for noisy disturbances, Adio this for you. A keeper. 228 of 229 people found the following review helpful. Best Value - Get one while you can by Arne W Flon For many reasons, this is definitely the best value shortwave receivers on the market. First synchronous detector! This allows radio signals to the lock with perseverance. The discoloration and reduces noise and allows you to eliminate interference by selecting a sideband to the other side of the disturbing signal. On SW7600GR it works very well. No other radio in this price range have sync detector. Build quality second. Made in Japan. The radio feels more robust. That's it. Third sensitivity. 4th great portability. Of course there are a number of obligations. Sound through the tiny speaker is not as good as some competing products, but considering this little Sony blows away competition in almost all other respects, this is a minor quibble. The sound is not bad, just not fill the room. As a personal radio that is not a liability. Additionally, you can always use headphones or speakers connected to the auxiliary (Radio?). System memory is simple, but the labels in alphabetical order. There is no tuning knob, just run buttons for scanning of the bands. The simplicity makes for easy use, however. FM reception is respectable (much better than expensive big brother the Sony ICF-SW77). The standard AM reception is good, perhaps very good. But if you are interested in the AM band DX, already has a GE Super Radio. It has an AC adapter (and avoid buying the terrible - and terribly expensive - the official Sony adapter). If you want AC power, get an inexpensive one. I power mine with NiMH batteries that are recycled as bases to function better and can be hundreds of times, buy two sets of batteries and you have always charged a lot and ready to go. Battery consumption is correspondingly low, and the device works fine on the slightly lower voltage NiMH. As a travel radio or as an introduction to shortwave, I can think of no better device for me. Probably the best recommendation for the 7600GR is that despite all the commendable reviews, with some surprises for the first time. Initially, at just under $ 200 U.S. prices, making the current retail price of this incredible value. Now for the bad news. Sony is getting from the business band radio. These beads can no longer be available soon. So if you're interested in 7600GR, now is the time. 226 of 230 people found the following review helpful. Best shortwave under $ 200.00, as a customer I bought this radio after trying several, including Grundig YB400 portable. The reason was all cheaply made and have less than desirable receptionFurthermore, I bought the AN-LP1 loop antenna made by Sony. This should be.
