Default Does Sony still make SW radios?


I want to buy a portable shortwave radio ... my beloved 20 year old
Sony ICF 2002 has finally died and I can't find anyone who will repair
it.
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.

Did your ICF 2002 just go completely dead? If so, it may not be hard to
fix. Tell us more.

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.

The local Sony dealer in Calgary checked his web site and told me it's
discontinued. Old inventory seems to be the only solution.

RadioGuy & Mike,

FWIW - Check-Out the Sony-Style .Com website

The Sony ICF-SW7600GR AM/FM Shortwave Radio
[FM Stereo Multi-Band World Band Receiver(tm) Radio]
is currently Listed as 'being' "In-Stock".

http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/...uctId=11037231

Note - Usually the first thing that Sony {USA/NA} does
when an Item is Discontinued is to Drop the Item from
the Sony-Style .Com website.

hope this helps ~ RHF
