I didn't think so. But just checking here ;)

I'll have to google the Philco. I'm not familiar with it.

I couldn't agree more. The sync detector in the 7600 is often worthless, but 
sometimes
it's a help. I love the audio on the ssb and the stability of it though. For 
1/2 the price of the
2010, and its portability, it's a great little radio. I have a 7600G I 
bought for $135 with a small dent in it's
chassis- new. As I'm not a real DXer, it suits be better than the 2010, 
which really irked me. I couldn't get over
that chuffing. I like a radio I can tune- not just punch in numbers.
If interested, here's a site all about the various versions
