HJi. My 7600GR has arrived at home and is still in the box. I'm
concerned that its features will be difficult to use and learn
effectively. I have never had a shortwave radio before and have never
used a synch detector nor an attenuator. Are there full instructions
about these features in the owner's manual? I just want to get as many
stations as possible, using the best tuning methods.

I wouldn't worry too much - the instructions will definately help, plus
you have the resources of all these very bright SWLs. Be happy - you
picked an excellent SW receiver, which I bet, not many first-timers do.
Sony rules !

Anyway, I am looking at the box now, still sealed. The radio is
shockingly smaller than I expected. I thought it was going to be the
size of an average Bible, instead, it's as big as a standard envelope.

The size doesn't matter, as long as, the audio is good - Sony, as
usual, packed a lot of excellent electronics into a small package; just
be greatful, you didn't get a Grundig/Tecsun/Eton S350, or similar type
receiver...
