Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony ICF-SW7600GR AM/FM Shortwave World Band Receiver with Single Side Band Reception

Customer Review: WOW!! A super radio for shortwave listening.
Summary: 5 Stars

My Sony was delivered today so I took time to check out it's features against all the hype about this radio. All I can say is WOW!! This radio is intended for voice and not music so it excels at doing just that! Many reviews downgrade this radio for sound quality and if it was bought for music I can see why. But Sony designed this radio for shortwave use so the sound quality for that is just fine. I like the tone set to "news" since it even improves what music I listen to.

It takes awhile to read the manual (and you DO need the manual) but once that is done this radio is a winner for the shortwave listener like me. I added it to my small collection of Shortwave radios after trying others that just didn't meet my needs due to their small size. This radio is a hunk of shortwave power on the go! It's much heavier than I though it would be but then again it's NOT a pocket radio. For the travel I do this radio will always go along so I can keep up on my Shortwave listen and news outside of the U.S.

I do have one concern that I'll have to be careful of......The antenna mount. On this radio the antenna is very long when fully extended and really gives the joint a real workout if you're holding it. I wrap my index finger of my left hand around the antenna base to support it if I'm holding it and that helps a lot. Being as heavy as this radio is I don't see it as a walkabout radio just moved from place to place which I think is the proper way to use this radio.

On Balance I see this radio as 4.9 out of 5 with antenna weakness being that missing .1

Description of Sony ICF-SW7600GR AM/FM Shortwave World Band Receiver with Single Side Band Reception

AM (LW/MW/SW) & FM stereo reception / 10-key direct access tuning / World time clock with dual alarm / 100 station memory presets
The Sony ICF-SW7600GR world band receiver radio will keep you connected to FM, AM, shortwave and longwave stations with a PLL digital tuner. With single side band (SSB) reception, the radio will transmit with a minimal amount of interference. To further enhance listening pleasure, the synchronous detection will reduce fading and regular beats.

There are four options when tuning your selected radio station. With direct tuning, you input the desired frequency digits. Manual tuning allows you to change the frequency step by step. If you are unsure of what station you want, use the scan tuning option to have the radio stop at all hearable receptions. Finally, with preset tuning, you can recall a preset station with a single button press. You can store up to a hundred preset stations using Sony's My-memory tuning feature. To help you remember which station is which, this Sony radio allows you to label each station with up to six alphanumeric letters. There is also a ten-key direct access tuning function, letting you quickly access your top ten favorite stations.

If you plan on traveling with a radio, the ICF-SW7600GR is a good choice. Beyond the ability to tune into various radio bands, the ICF-SW7600GR also features a world clock feature. Simply select a city name and the radio will display that city's current time. With the dual clock function, it is easy to keep track of two time zones. The radio also has a useful turn-on and sleep timer. Choose two individual times and frequencies and the radio will turn on and tune to the selected station automatically. If you plan on listening to the radio as you fall asleep, use the sleep timer and the radio will turn off after approximately sixty minutes.

There are two options to power the radio. Either four AA batteries or purchase an optional AC adaptor.

What's in the Box
