Sony ICF-SW7600GR Features:
- AM (LW/MW/SW)/FM Stereo provides accurate reception with stereo FM capability over a wide range of frequencies from LW and MW(AM) to SW and FM.
- 10 Key Direct Access Tuning lets you capture distant stations directly, with the ease of using a pocket calculator.
- LCD Display.
- Hold Button prevents accidental changes to preset station settings.
- PLL Quartz Frequency Synthesized Tuning is an extremely accurate method of tuning, with optimum stability that reduces drift to a minimum.
- Synchronous Detection Circuitry reduces fading and annoying “beat” frequency interference from adjacent stations, as well as distortion due to fading in AM reception.
- SSB (Single Side Band) Reception for fine tuning and optimum multi-mode reception with reduced interference on the narrow AM band, for better overall sound.
- 100 Station Memory Presets.
- Auto Scan Tuning/Memory Scan provides professional-type microprocessor-controlled tuning functions to scan (one at a time) all 100 memory presets and let you listen for a few seconds before deciding whether to remain on a particular station or let scanning continue.
- 1kHz Step Tuning allows fast, precise station reception by tuning at 1kHz intervals.
- Dual Standby Function lets you set the alarm for two different wake-up times or wake you to two different radio stations.
- World Time Clock/Dual Clock allows you to display the current time at various locations around the globe as well the time where you live.
- Earphone Jack.

User Reviews Summary
Sony ICF-SW7600GR User Opinion Summary:
-
Sony ICF-SW7600GR is a well built, lightweight portable radio receiver. It features synchronous detection, that enables the radio to lock onto signals with tenacity. But ease of use get mixed reviews, because some users find the controls not intuitive. Also the sound quality is ok, but not the best.

What do people say
Some Positive
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.

1. Synchronous detector! It enables the radio to lock
onto signals with tenacity. It reduces fading and noise and
enables you to eliminate interference by selecting a sideband
on the other side of the interfering signal. On the SW7600GR
it works very well. No other radio at this price has sync
detector.2. Build quality. Made in Japan. The radio even feels
robust. It is.3. Sensitivity.
4. Great portability.
Of course there are also some liabilities.
Sound through the little speaker is not as good as some
competing products. But given that this little Sony blows
the competitors away in almost all other respects,
this is a minor quibble. The sound isn’t bad; it just
isn’t room filling. As a personal radio this isn’t such
a liability. Plus, you can always use earphones or connect
to auxiliary speakers (Cambridge Soundworks?).

Some Negative
I could not believe how bad the FM reception is. Only a few stations come in clear, others have interference from nearby stations, or can only be heard if the radio and antenna are held in a specific direction. My Radio Shack clock radio, Tivoli Audio, and any car radio have better reception! Using the SW capabilities are hindered by a user interface that is clumsy and non-intuitive, as others have pointed out.
