My Sony was delivered today so I took time to check out it's features against all the hype about this radio. All I can say is WOW!! This radio is intended for voice and not music so it excels at doing just that! Many reviews downgrade this radio for sound quality and if it was bought for music I can see why. But Sony designed this radio for shortwave use so the sound quality for that is just fine. I like the tone set to "news" since it even improves what music I listen to.
It takes awhile to read the manual (and you DO need the manual) but once that is done this radio is a winner for the shortwave listener like me. I added it to my small collection of Shortwave radios after trying others that just didn't meet my needs due to their small size. This radio is a hunk of shortwave power on the go! It's much heavier than I though it would be but then again it's NOT a pocket radio. For the travel I do this radio will always go along so I can keep up on my Shortwave listen and news outside of the U.S.
I do have one concern that I'll have to be careful of......The antenna mount. On this radio the antenna is very long when fully extended and really gives the joint a real workout if you're holding it. I wrap my index finger of my left hand around the antenna base to support it if I'm holding it and that helps a lot. Being as heavy as this radio is I don't see it as a walkabout radio just moved from place to place which I think is the proper way to use this radio.
On Balance I see this radio as 4.9 out of 5 with antenna weakness being that missing .1

Seems to be a high quality, lots of features. Just can't seem to use the SW. Very difficult.
"Great little shortwave radio"

The Sony ICF-7600GR is a great little shortwave radio. Read the instruction manual- operation of this radio is easy but not intuitive. I it is much easier to operate than my Sony SW77 and it is easier to tune in SSB than the SW77.
Sony is the last of the giant manufacturers to offer a shortwave radio and it is still made in Japan not China, and I thank them for continuing to make a product that only appeals to a small niche of Customers.
That being said, first of all it is not a "boom box" designed for music listening. The FM reception is adequate+. It is a small radio with a tiny speaker that reproduces the vocal range (200hz-5000hz) with clarity without causing fatigue to the listener. The sound quality is ideal for shortwave listening (SWL). Headphones sound great and receive FM in stereo with high fidelity. AM(MW) reception is great. If you are looking to primarily listen to music, it is the wrong radio for you. This radio is primarily designed for SWL. I will not gripe about a couple of features that this radio is missing, since it does an outstanding job without them.
The 7600GR tunes SW in 5khz or 1khz steps, allowing for fine tuning. It has synchronous detection available to lock in weak stations that suffer from fading or interference from adjacent channels. It also comes with a wire antenna extension which greatly improves reception of distant signals. The 7600GR has a variable antenna attenuator that is far more useful than a DX/ local switch.
I have some hints for beginners. First of all when you scan frequencies by meter band, make use of the attenuator. Select a meter band and then manually find a dead channel (frequency). Then adjust the attenuator until you find the threshold of the "tune" icon in the upper left of the display. When the tune icon comes on from background static, back off until it disappears and then hit the scan (arrow) button. By doing this, it will bypass dead channels and only stop on channels with active broadcasting. Keep the radio and antenna extension wire near a window and away from flourescent lights, light dimmers,TV(s), computers and other electrical devices for best reception. For serous listening with an indoor antenna, buy an active loop antenna and hang it in the window. Kaito makes one. I am using the Sony AN-LP1 active loop which is excellent but discontinued and still available on the internet. The loop is a major improvement over the wire extension, it reduces background noise and static, and you will not get any better reception unless you use an outdoor antenna. SWL is better after dark, due to atmospheric conditions and the broadcaster scheduling for times that they know listeners are home. Most countries have at least an hour or two of english speaking broadcasts every day. When you listen to AM(MW), keep in mind that the built in ferrite core antenna is bi-directional, and rotating the radio position can improve reception and reduce background noise.
I would Highly recommend the ICF-7600GR to anyone that wants a highly effective receiver for shortwave. You can nit-pick when comparing to other SW portables, but you will not find any noticeable improvement unless you spend $500.00 for an Eton E1XM.

"Effective Radio, Alkaline Battery Life Needs Resusitation"
2009-10-08
- Reviewed By User: A2E78VZZKXMJ7
This radio is a replacement for a Grundig S350 AM/FM/Shortwave radio, for acess to EWTN. The Sony is working out well. Reviews related the battery life was good. Probably so if the radio is used occassionally. What we consider normal use, uses up the batteries quickly. We have to get the converter, which is an added expense.
I really wish this radio worked as I did hours of research but unfortunately I could not recieve any shortwave no matter what I tried.
I even tried an outside antenna with absolutely no reception.
I returned it but was really sorry to do so.
I may buy another hope it's better.
"Nice World Band Radio"
2009-09-24
- Reviewed By User: A30TLC39MKF23B
I puchased this radio to add to my collection of World Band Radios and was not disappointed. The sensitivity is great and it was actually easy to store various frequencies in memory. My only complaint would be having to flip a little switch on the side of the radio to switch to SSB, but that is a minor quible. I highly recommend this radio.
