Title: A well-built machine
Product review: Having acquired several other SW radios for my collection over the last year or so, all Grundigs (G8, G6, G3, Satellit 800), the first thing I noticed about the Sony is the quality of the construction. This thing feels solid as a rock in my hands, the weight is just right, button presses are solid and not flimsy, it's just in a higher class than the Grundig radios. The sync detector on the Sony is best in class, as all the other reviews have pointed out. The reception is outstanding on all bands and the sound quality is very good as well.I'm not sure how long ago the 7600GR debuted, but its design feels pretty dated now. The LCD display is bare bones, the switches along the side could be more user-friendly if they were front-facing buttons. What I'd love to see is a completely modern version of the legendary Sony ICF-2010, which this unit really is not meant to be, but it's as close as we'll probably ever get from Sony.Overall, a great shortwave radio!
