Yes, I own five ICF-SW7600GRs as well as two ICF-SW7600Gs. The Gs are
now "retired" as the GRs are really much better in terms of features.
Both models perform identically, however, and both are constructed to
an unusually high standard.

I hadn't intended to buy those last two GRs I bought last year but
$129.15 was just irresistable. I think the Sony ICF-SW7600GR is the
best small portable shortwave radio on the market right now. There are
some others that may offer a somewhat better value, but they will not
outperform the Sony nor will they be constructed as well.

I wish that Sony were still interested in the shortwave market. Imagine
what they might have done with an updated and improved ICF-SW7600GR,
not even to mention an updated ICF-2010. I'm sure the '7600GR (and the
ICF-SW35 - I own two of them also) will be the last SW radios Sony
produces. Get 'em while you can!

Best,

Joe

Thanks Joe,

From what I've heard - and btw I think I heard you own a few more than
two - at $129 it's still a bargain. Maybe I'll just ask Santa to bring
me one for Christmas. I got everything else I need for now.
