I am new to shortwave and want to buy Sony ICF-SW7600GR. I would be
grateful if you give your valuable views on ICF-SW7600GR.


Well, what do you want to know? It's hard to go wrong with one as an
entry level set, I'd say. (And, unlike the predecessor, it encourages
the use of presets for SW.) It's the most inexpensive full-featured SW
receiver (including truly sideband selective SSB and synch), has good
ergonomics (it's a Sony after all), and performance isn't bad at all. Of
course it does have its weaknesses (like 2nd IF imaging problems and not
as good strong signal handling as more expensive receivers), but all in
all it's certainly not a bad deal in its class.

PS: As DRM mods have shown, the venerable 7600G/GR has lower 1st LO
phase noise than the AKD Target HF3 entry-level tabletop...
