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: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
I just received my Sony radio today. I am very disappointed with the product. I own two similar radios, the Sangean 909 ATS and a Grundig YB 400 PE. When I bought these radios, it included an AC adaptor. Sony appears to be too cheap to include it. Set up is not easy. It does appear to be built well. Sony had better make it easier to use when you turn it on for the first time. Setting the clock is very complicated, not easy like the Sangean or Grundig radios.Digital camera Review: Disappointment!
Summary: 1 Stars
The radio is dubbed World Band Receiver but mine is only able to tune in local FM stations! I scanned the AM band up and down for hours and days upon the radio's delivery without it being able to pick up any station at all. It's even worse than my car radio! I hate going through the troubles of returning it, so I simply put it out of sight, hoping for a magic somebody to help wake it up. The accompanying wave book is of little help.Digital camera Review: Does not catch other countries as promissed
Summary: 4 Stars
Some people state it does, but obviously they do not understand that most of the forecasts they listen to are coming from the US;But in general, the radio is good.Digital camera Review: Don't let the Sony name fool you!

This was a gift for my husband. We returned it as it was too difficult
to operate and we got a lot of static when trying to tune in a station.
I would not recommend this item to anyone.
He has since found a Grunig at Radio Shack and is very happy with it.
Digital camera Review: Don't plan on using a transformer
Summary: 4 Stars
This radio was perfect in every way with one exception. When I plug in the appropriate AC/DC transformer, the volume stays "low" until I push the "backlight" button for the display, then it jumps up to a much higher volume. I did not want to bother with returning it, since it works great otherwise.
P.S
For the record, do NOT buy the transformer "recommended" as a complimentary item to purchase. It is the wrong voltage.
