Amazon.com Product Description
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

 Very Good Little Radio December 21, 2008
Jonathan R. Curran
I have had this radio for a month.It works very well.It is sensitive and selective on AM and FM as well.It is well made.It is also a good deal that it has AM synchronous for a reasonable price.It sounds good for its size.It would be a perfect radio if it was a little larger in size with a somewhat larger speaker and adjustable tone controls.
 Great Radio For A Portable! December 15, 2008
R. Davis (Covington, LA USA)
For the price this is a great radio.
Sony quality and performance.
Sensitivity is good with the attached antenna and the syncronous detector makes SWL very enjoyable. Recommend it highly, especially to one who is starting with the hobby.
Great quality but a little complicated to use. December 12, 2008
E. Hanshew (Arizona)
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 a huge and frustrating issue with the Grundig. My only knock on the Sony is that it is complicated to use. Maybe it is just me but it does not seem very intutive. I recently used it on a backcountry adventure and two of us in camp spent a lot of time figuring out how to get it to work and both of us came away frustrated even though we did eventually get it to do most of what we wanted. So if you are looking for a real shortwave radio at an entry level price this is probably your best bet. But be prepared to invest some time learning how it works or it will just collect dust.
Excellent carry on everyday advanced radio December 10, 2008
A. Saxena (MA, USA)
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 December 8, 2008
Daryl W. Mccullough (In your Cottonfield)
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 comes in much better using the wall plug-in also. I wish it had a dial, but it's not that big of a deal. I would recommend this radio to anyone looking for a quality multi-band radio but doesn't want to spend hundreds of dollars.
