Very good Radio
By R. Subramanian
I am fairly new to SW radios. I bought a Grunding S350 and was annoyed with the drift . I would tune into a station and it would slowly tune out. I returned it and bought a Grunding YB400PE. It was much better that S350 but the SSB performance was dismal. Also I just could not lock on to some weak signals or to a station that was very close to a more powerful station.
I went in for the sony 7600GR and have been very happy. The synchronous detection helps a lot. You can select between LSB and USB when doing synchronous detection. This helps you with those pesky neighbouring stations.If it is on the Lower freq. choose USB and vice versa.
The audio quality is a little inferior to the YB400. It also does not have a handy snooze button. But I am yet to meet a person who buys SW radios for audio quality or as an alarm clock. The YB400 comes with a AC mains power adapter but the sony does not. The Reel antenna is included in both.
If you are looking for a radio that can tune into weak signals ,provide SSB functionality , synchronous detection , variable attenuation to drown out noisy interference then this is the adio for you. A keeper.

By Arne W Flones
For many reasons this is absolutely the best valued shortwave receiver on the market.1. Synchronous detector! It enables the radio to lockonto signals with tenacity. It reduces fading and noise andenables you to eliminate interference by selecting a sidebandon the other side of the interfering signal. On the SW7600GRit works very well. No other radio at this price has syncdetector.2. Build quality. Made in Japan. The radio even feelsrobust. It is.3. Sensitivity.4. Great portability.Of course there are also some liabilities.Sound through the little speaker is not as good as somecompeting products. But given that this little Sony blowsthe competitors away in almost all other respects,this is a minor quibble. The sound isn't bad; it justisn't room filling. As a personal radio this isn't sucha liability. Plus, you can always use earphones or connectto auxiliary speakers (Cambridge Soundworks?).The memory system is simple, without alphabetic labels.There is no tuning dial, just jog buttons for scanningthe bands. Simplicity makes for easy operation, though.FM reception is respectable (much better than the veryexpensive big brother the Sony ICF-SW77). Standard AMreception is good, possibly very good. But if you areinterested in DXing the AM bands, you already have aGE Super Radio.It doesn't have an AC adaptor (and you should AVOID buyingthe horrible--and horribly expensive--official Sony adaptor).If you want to power from AC, get an inexpensive one. I powermine with rechargeable NiMH batteries which work better thanalkalines and can be reused hundreds of times. Buy twosets of batteries and you'll always have a set charged andready to go. Battery drain is respectively low and the unitfunctions perfectly on the slightly lower voltage NiMHs.As a travel radio, or as an introduction to shortwave, I can'tthink of a better unit. Probably the best recommendation forthe 7600GR is that in spite of all the laudable reviews, usingone for the first time still surprises. Originally pricedat just under $200 US, current street prices make this anincredible value.Now for the bad news. Sony is getting out of the world bandradio business. These little gems may soon be unavailable.So if you're interested in the 7600GR, now is the time.

By A Customer
I bought this radio after trying out several Grundig portables including the YB400. The Grundigs were all cheaply made and have less than desirable reception.
Furthermore, I bought the AN-LP1 loop antenna made by Sony. This must be the perfect set up for someone that does not want to pay loads of money but still wants a "very" satisfying SWL experience. I love mine and would recommend it to anyone. Especially if you travel alot like me for you business. Portable and Powerful!
Finally, you will be suprised how easy it is to learn and operate. Most of the buttons I figured out without the user manual. However, there are a few nifty items I found in the user manual so don't forget to read it.
