Summary
People who love radio will eventually wind up buying a shortwave receiver, if only to find out what else is out there on the radio waves. The first-time buyer will also, very likely, enter these shortwave waters cautiously, not wanting to spend too...
Strength
Pros: Selectivity, SSB tuning, Sync Lock
Weakness
Cons: Speaker, LCD Size, LCD light
Bottom Line
Considering the relatively low price, this is a satisfying receiver whose few flaws are annoying mostly because they could have been easily avoided.
I purchased this radio two weeks ago. I used to be a Shortwave listener during the 80s-90s but I discontinued the hobby after my student years. Recently, I became interested again and thought I should buy a good radio. During the 80s I...
Strength
Great reception and features. Superbly engineered. Synchronous Detection
Weakness
Display readability. Loudspeaker quality
Bottom Line
All in all this is a superb portable world receiver that most certainly will leave you satisfied. It's features and reception are on par with larger and more expensive models.
I'm fairly new to SWL (shortwave listening) but I have to give this Sony very high marks. Radio Netherlands reviewers agree (see http://www.rnw.nl/realradio/icf-sw7600gr.html for their review) and compared to other portable shortwave radios in this...
Strength
Sync lock is awesome, size, memory scan, SSB is useful
Weakness
Less than great audio, no tuning knob
Bottom Line
Best in class performances, sensitive antenna, good battery life, great features for the price.

I was looking for a high quality portable radio to use locally and something with SW for when I travel to remote places abroad (though I'm very new to SW). All sources pointed to this radio and I am not disappointed. I got it from Hypeaudio and despite...
Strength
features for price, reception, build quality, ease of use
After hooking up this radio to my 100 ft antennae (with an alligator clip as it has no external antenna jack), I found its reception to be, at best, average, if not disappointing. I soon replaced it with a Tecsun BCL-2000 (also the Grundig S350) radio,...

Summary
I am a SONY fan and an armature radio operator. The ICF-SW7600GR radio is an embarrassment to the SONY name. I received this unit through my SONY points. My $39 no name unit works better on the short wave bands. An antenna does not help...
Strength
Good on AM and FM - good quality radio like all SONY products.
