Sony ICF-SW7600 AM/FM/SW Radio

Pros: Great reception and features. Superbly engineered. Synchronous Detection

Cons: Display readability. Loudspeaker quality

The 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.

Review: Background:
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...

Pros: Excellent reception; 100+ station memories; extremely easy to use; flexible audio out

Cons: not much: could have RDS display

The Bottom Line: Buy it; extremely easy to use, superior performance, and great quality.

Review: I gave this as a gift to my father, who doesn't have the time to figure out SW frequencies and would like to listen to specific programs without having to search himself or enter the frequency. I programmed the stations for him, and he finds it very easy...

Pros: Selectivity, Sync Lock, SSB/CW Tuning, Sturdy Construction

Cons: Only has 100 memories

The Bottom Line: I would definitely recommend this radio. I think it is the best value in portable shortwave capable receivers.

Review: I really like this radio, I use it on a daily basis to receive shortwave broadcasts using only the provided antenna. I have had no problems operating the controls and find that one becomes familiar with them easily. One feature which I believe ...

Pros: Sync lock is awesome, size, memory scan, SSB is useful

Cons: Less than great audio, no tuning knob

The Bottom Line: Best in class performances, sensitive antenna, good battery life, great features for the price.

Review: 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...

Pros: features for price, reception, build quality, ease of use

Cons: lack of ac adapter

Review: 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 ...

Pros: -HIGH QUALITY MADE IN JAPAN!
-SUPER SENSITIVE
-POWERFUL HIGH TECH SYNC DETECTOR
-GREAT ON BATTERIES, PERFECT TRAVEL RADIO

Cons: Could have had a bit better speaker but listen mostly on headphones so doesn't matter.

Review: Excellent portable shortwave radio still made in high quality Japan unlike all that other made in china junk on the market today.  Blows them all away in performance and extremely high build quality.  Super powerful high tech sync detection ...

Pros: Pros: Selectivity, SSB tuning, Sync Lock

Cons: Cons: Speaker, LCD Size, LCD light

The 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.

Review: 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 ...

Pros: Sensitivity, Sync detection, SSB, looks, better image rejection

Cons: Lack of jog tuning wheel, LCD display , memory input process,

Review: I upgraded to Sony ICF SW7600Gr during Mar ch 08 from my Siemens RK 661 receiver. Bought if from amazon for around $150. Accessories included Sony compact antenna andmanual & frequency guide book. no Ac adaptor.More sensitive comapared to my ...

Pros: Nicely made; high tech

Cons: Reception not as good as others

Review: 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, ...

Pros: Has some useful features

Cons: Not durable

Review: This Sony was nice while it lasted. I had its predecessor for 20 years and was very disappointed when this newer version died after only two years. Sony customer service was not very helpful. They do not repair this radio and could only offer to ...
