Default Does Sony still make SW radios?

I'd like *to get another Sony ... I really like the SW7600 GR but
can't find it for sale anywhere ...

Actually *I can't find any Sony SW radios anywhere *(I'm in
Canada) ... have Sony left the portable SW market entirely?

What would you folks recommend then ... for about $150?.
Is the Grundig G5 any good?
Many thanks.


I don't think Sony is technically making the 7600 any more. But I
think there is a lot of inventory out there. It's a good radio for
sure. But also look at comparable offerings from Kaito/Degen such as
the DE1103.
