Thanks for trying, David. Lets see how long before they start showing up on Ebay at 2-3 times what were paid. Jon

Many thanks, Dave, My comments re the PL-390 were based on my interpretation of the information posted in this group and on the 'net, and I'm happy if someone else can clarify further and correct me,

Hello Laurie, Kevin, Dave and All, As Kevin has summarized, all of your impressions regarding the PL-390,PL-380, PL-360 and PL-310 models are accurate, Laurie. With the exception of the new PL-390

Laurie: I was looking at my PL-390 and thinking the same thing, so I hope you figure it out on that receiver as well! I really like the PL-390; I recently ran a shoot-out of sorts with the Sony

Again, thanks Laurie. Job well done on that Your statement about the PL-390 not having the softmute has me puzzled a bit. I was under the impression that; 1. The PL-360 handheld with detachable

Just an FYI, Sony has refurbished 7600GRsfor $89.95: http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10551&storeId=10151&langId=-1&productId=11035581

Thanks FARMERIK and Gary for your kind and encouraging comments. For me, the PL-390, albeit not an ultralight, seems to offer the best combination of: benign soft-mute (like the '380), external ant

I really appreciate your article about that clever modification. The 390 looks to have more room to add a few turns of wire around the loop stick to use as an input as well. It is hard to choose

I just found my long lost 7600G, and it is well built. I like the audio on AM and SW much better on my DSP radios though. Sound is clearer and cleaner to my ear. [G8, PL-310 and PL-360] The SONY

Hello All, I realise the PL-390 is not an ultralight, but looking at the pictures and useful info posted here on the group for the PL-390, I think it will be possible to apply the same mod to the

I would love to see a modern version of my Sony 7600GR. The 7600 GR radio has: SSB, both USB and LSB Synchronous detection with selectable side band easily managed memories - 100 stations Disconnect

Thanks Laurie, Your PL-310 antenna jack modification article is a first class job, andwill surely inspire many DXers to obtain superior performance from that model.Thanks for your detailed work in

Thanks for such an informative and well explained answer! Whenever I see your address pop up, I know that an interesting "read" awaits! Heatwave

Hi Scott, I find that the sync detector in the Sony 7600GR is good for reducing interference by isolating one sideband, but not as good at reducing selective fading distortion. The sync detectors in

What is left is the long wave band in AM mode. In recent correspondence with others state-side, there isn't any real interest in the 200-500kHz band either (Air Beacons, NDB's,etc). Moreover, these

Hi Michael, You are correct, technically, about AM/FM being "modes" as opposed to bands. But colloquially, in the USA at least, they refer to the regular broadcast bands. An AM/FM radio has

Hi. I found this subject somewhat interesting, not being all that tech but have been told an enquiring mind helps others to move along here is my question. Seeing the marker is as you say re these

Hi Richard, Frankly, I don't see either capability being added in the near future. The DSP is capable in theory, but the additional market opportunities for Silicon Labs afforded by these features
