Comments about Sony ICF-SW7600GR Digital World Band Radio Tuner:

I travel allot and over the many years that I have owned this unchanged model, it has performed well and uses batteries modestly. TRansformer would have been nice I guess but most of the time that would be a hindrance for people on the go. You can also plug this into a range of small amps if needed.

Great product and I love the radio. Really solid build and looks and feels really well built. Having good performance. It would be better to have a ac adapter for the radio.

It was dissapointing to find that this product ships without an AC Adapter as part of the package when purchased in the U.S.!!! Consequently, I had to buy one from a different company ($25.00) that is designed for this unit. Sony can do better

This is my first Sony SW radio and I could not be happier with initial quality and reception. Has a nice quality to the build, seems like good materials and does not feel flimsy. The design looks like a 10 dollar radio but the sound and reception make up for it. Would be nice to have a dial to adjust channels but they seem to break on lower end units anyways and since it is a pll tuner not analog, the buttons do just fine. Kudos to the quality control at Sony on this unit.

The quality of this unit is exceptional. The dials and buttons all work smoothly.
I purchased this radio specifically for the shortwave functions. This model can pick up continous shortwave coverage through all bands including single side band (ham radio) and CB. This is the only small portable with synchronous detection which reduces fading on shortwave and AM bands. If you like talk radio, ham radio, and shortwave broadcasts then this is the radio for you. FM on this radio is ok but the single speaker was not made for high fidelity sound although there is stereo through the use of headphones.
This is one of the few Sony products that is still made in Japan and you can tell immediately the heft and quality of the unit when holding it. Nice job Sony!
