This is turning in to a 'chicken or the egg' topic. It's been debated
endlessly and is bordering on flame bait. I tried the Sony and took it
back. I have a 909 AND a 398 which was bought used. Both are excellent.
The importance of having a tuning knob wasn't evident to me until I had
to do without. The SSB performance is also better. All in my opinion, of
course.
First, I'm stunned to see you make a SW-related post.
And, secondly, since I own both, I just wanted to disagree. It's easy to get
used to the lack of a tuning knob and the 7600G allows pinpoint USB/LSB
fine-tuning that you don't get on the 398.
The 7600G is also far more sensitive and doesn't eat batteries anywhere near
the way a 909/398 does.
And those are facts, Canuck! ;-)
What the hell, don't screw around, buy a Drake!
