The Sony ICF-SW7600GR trounces the Grundig Yachtboy 400 for SSB reception
by
the way. But the sound of the sony is really poor and hard to take for
anything
else.

Bob, too bad about Sony's audio, as the Grundig is well known for high
fidelity ;-)

While the YB-400 PE's tuning dial is a little annoying to get it settled
near the proper sideband, when it is, it doesn't miss anything. Mine has
pulled in weak signals from vessels and aircraft that master stations from
Canadian Armed Forces to USCG have both had difficulty with or missed
entirely at the same time. You might feel the Sony is a little better from
personal experience, maybe it is. But nothing "trounces" the YB400,
anywhere. Truly an amazing receiver in my opinion, and the best emergency
backup receiver I could imagine.
