Good, Compact Receiver

byCarlyle_NY Feb 7, 2004
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Pros: Selectivity, SSB tuning, Sync Lock
Cons Cons: Speaker, LCD Size, LCD light
Recommended it? Yes

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 much but on the other hand not wanting a cheap and... Read full review »

Excellent for SW Listening

bysonic2000gr Nov 20, 2002
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great reception and features. Superbly engineered. Synchronous Detection
Cons Display readability. Loudspeaker quality
Recommended it? Yes

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 have used a couple of portable receivers,... Read full review »

Great Portable Reciever

bystevevb Aug 20, 2008
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Selectivity, Sync Lock, SSB/CW Tuning, Sturdy Construction
Cons Only has 100 memories
Recommended it? Yes

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 could have been added is a greater memory capacity... Read full review »

Excellent travel full-function shortwave radio

bythemtx Nov 11, 2002
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Sync lock is awesome, size, memory scan, SSB is useful
Cons Less than great audio, no tuning knob
Recommended it? Yes

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 price range, this one is tops. Primarily, this is... Read full review »

Not a Durable Radio

byearthelph Jul 20, 2006
5 Helpfuls 6 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Has some useful features
Cons Not durable
Recommended it? No

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 replace it with a refurbished radio for nearly the... Read full review »

Review of Sony ICF-SW7600GR FM Stereo Multi-Band World Band Receiver Radio

bygephardt Mar 24, 2006
6 Helpfuls 7 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent reception; 100+ station memories; extremely easy to use; flexible audio out
Cons not much: could have RDS display
Recommended it? Yes

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 to choose the broadcaster he wants by... Read full review »

Great radio

bypordy Jun 8, 2005
3 Helpfuls 4 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros features for price, reception, build quality, ease of use
Cons lack of ac adapter
Recommended it? Yes

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 their mixed reviews, I received it 48 hours... Read full review »

SW7600GR radio is an embarrassment to the SONY name

byjimi12 Jan 7, 2007
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good on AM and FM - good quality radio like all SONY products.
Cons Does not work well on SW.
Recommended it? No

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.

Didn't Impress Me

byupinarms22 Feb 1, 2004
2 Helpfuls 3 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Nicely made; high tech
Cons Reception not as good as others
Recommended it? No

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, for about one third less in price, and it... Read full 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 makes all the difference.  Don't be fooled by all those...
