Blinq.com has another “open box” deal on the Sony ICF-SW7600GR.

As I mentioned last time one of these surfaced on Blinq, this is a great deal for an excellent radio.

Actually, if you’re clever (!) you can buy this ‘7600GR for $89.90 shipped…

If you’ve never visited Blinq.com, or if you open their website in a private/incognito window, Blinq will typically pop up a window offering 10% off for new shoppers as long as you subscribe to their newsletter. You then receive a coupon code via email you can use with the first order.

Sony-ICF-SW7600GR

Blinq.com has an “open box” deal on one of my favorite shortwave portables: the Sony ICF-SW7600GR. Though this receiver has been on the market for many years, its AGC, synchronous detector, and selectivity are still benchmark. Check out how it was favored by readers in this blind comparison. The ‘7600GR also has a dedicated and stable line-out port; one of the reasons it’s still my receiver of choice for field recordings. Ergonomics and the lack of a tuning wheel/knob are my only real complaints about the ‘7600GR.

I almost snatched this deal up–if for no other reason than to have a spare unit–but I’d rather give someone here in the SWLing Post community a chance to add this to their collection. The ICF-SW7600GR typically sells for $130-140 new and $90-110 used. It appears there’s only one in stock.

Woot Deal: Lenovo Rugged ThinkPad 11E-G2 11.6″ $199

Woot-Levono

After several failed attempts to use a Dell 7″ Windows tablet with my SDRs and D-Star DVAP, I decided to purchase either a Surface Pro (like my pal Mark Fahey used at the SWLing Post DXpedition) or a small Windows notebook computer.

This morning, I noticed a good deal on Woot.com: a Lenovo Rugged ThinkPad 11E-G2 11.6″ for $199 US. Woot actually had an identical deal about two weeks ago and I passed on it–since then, I’ve read mostly positive reviews about this notebook.

I’m a fan of Intel processors, but I’m pretty sure this AMD quad core processor combined with the speed of an internal solid state drive should handle most of my SDR spectrum recording needs. The Thinkpad also has a USB 2 and USB 3 port for external storage.

This small notebook is also MIL-SPEC Tested and comes with a full one year Levono warranty.

So I bit the bullet about 15 minutes ago.

I have purchased several items through Woot (hard drives, tools, telephones, etc.) and have only had good experiences.

If you’re interested in this deal, you must act quickly. It will only last until Woot sells out of inventory or the end of the day today (whichever comes first).
