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.

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.

Great quality but a little complicated to use.

This radio replaced a Grundig that I left in Africa with a friend. The Sony is of far superior quality and has much better reception. The Grundig was almost a toy in comparison to the Sony. Sound quality is fantastic. Tuning granularity is great and it really holds a signal. Signal fade was...

Excellent carry on everyday advanced radio

I have been using this for last 5 years, around the world, and it has worked like charm all these years. This is one of the high quality advanced radio available in such a small form factor. Go for it, you would not regret it.

Great Radio

I have owned this radio for about 4 months, and I am pretty impressed with it. The 7600 is a big radio stuffed into a small package. It is extremely portable yet carries a full load of features. The only downside I've found is the battery life. I opted for a wall plug in, and don't regret it. It...

Synchronous detection circuitry sets it apart from the rest

The 7600GR has been around for many years now. There's not much to not like about it. It performs great. It has synchronous detection circuitry which most other portables don't have. It's not quite as good as the sync detection on the legendary Sony 2010, but still very good. The only thing I...

Excellent radio, especially if you also get the accessory antenna

I have had mine for a couple of years now, so I have had ample time to play with it and sort through it's idiosyncrasies. So this review is a bit late in the offing.I don't know how Sony managed to stuff so many features into such a small package. Well, I do know because the thing must weigh 10...

Excellent performance but beware of costly spare parts!

I've had the Sony ICS-SW7600GR shortwave radio for almost a year, and it has performed flawlessly. My only hesitation is that the speaker sound is somewhat thin, but it does sound much, much better with headphones.The radio cabinet is very compact and almost too thin. In fact, it is so thin that...

Top Notch Portable Shortwave Radio

This one replaced an older version that I had. It is everything that I want for travel and around the house: a carrying case, antenna adapter for better reception(when needed)and it's built very solidly. In Houston, when we were out of power for two weeks due to Hurricane Ike, this little gem fit...

what happened Sony?

Despite high ratings in Passport I received two duds in a row which had to be returned. I've been buying Sony products for many years and it's pretty disappointing. Seems like Japanese manufactured goods are going the way of U.S. manufactured good. I hear Sony has decided to get out of the...

not as good as I expected

I bought it as a gift for my dad in China. I researched several days on internet before the purchase, and bought the best one I could find as a shortwave radio. I tried it as I traveled to China. The product is as good as I expected. (1) It is not so easy to learn how to use it. It come only with...
