Digital camera reviews of Sony ICF-SW7600GR AM/FM Shortwave World Band Receiver with Single Side Band Reception
Digital camera Review: Worldwide radio reception
Summary: 5 Stars
This product comes as a refinement of a long line of shortwave radios from Sony. My personal experience with the Brand and its products is excellent and this unit is no exception. I travel considerably in areas where international reception of news is difficult. This radio keeps me connected with the World. I highly recommend this shortwave Radio. Digital camera Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
This radio has super sensitive reception. I hesitated purchasing it, because people said they didnt like pressing buttons, rather than tuning with a knob. Well... it's not bad at all. It has a great scan feature, and if you set the ATT threshold correctly, you'll get mostly real stations and a few birdies. The batteries (not included) last forever (NiMH) and the sound quality is pretty good too. It is very well constructed, and pretty easy to operate. I do wish the scan/delay time was programable. It will find a station, and you reach over to stop the scan, and its already off to find another one. Stick the external antenna in your window at night, and turn this thing on - you'll hear plenty. And YES it does have SSB. Upper and Lower Sideband (selectable)Digital camera Review: Very Good Little Radio
Summary: 4 Stars
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.Digital camera Review: Great Radio For A Portable!
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
Digital camera Review: Great quality but a little complicated to use.
Summary: 4 Stars
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.
