Digital camera reviews of Sony ICF-SW7600GR AM/FM Shortwave World Band Receiver with Single Side Band Reception, plus External Plug-in Antenna
Digital camera Review: A Great All Around SW AM-FM Radio
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had many short wave radios over the years. I recently bought a Grundig Satellite 800 which got a lot of hype. Unfortunately it got zapped with lightning. But I was not happy with it anyway.
But I am very happy with this Sony product.
Pros:
Very good front end. It picks up everything that's available (using the supplied long wire antenna). The AM reception is excellent. And I don't think I've ever had better FM reception.
For SSB it has a BFO which I much prefer over IM tuning.
I've fallen asleep with it on a few times and the batteries have not suffered much (the Grundig was a battery eater).
I think the speaker is perfectly designed for listening to short wave broadcasts. Everything is crisp and clear. It is not designed for listening to music. You may want to use headphones for better music quality.
The Sync Lock works well and can make it easier to hear weak stations.
Cons:
The tiny switches on the sides are not all that easy to use.
It's hard to fine tune the BFO with such a small dial (but it can be done).
Conclusion:
You will not find more bang for the buck. I doubt you will find anything as good a twice the cost.
