On the verge of buying my first SW radio and *think* I'm gonna go for
the Sony ICF-SW7600GR, which seems to have some pretty good reviews
and a reputation for being well made.

Any opinions or advice before I splash the cash would be much
appreciated!

Cheers, Keith.

IMO, that is the best choice for the money. Good audio, quite sensitive and
selective.... Great features... AM ssb selectable sync. I had a 7600G and I
LOVED it. I'm sorry I sold it

Closest to it is the Grundig YB-400. Said to have just slightly better
audio, but it falls short of the Sony in every other aspect, IMO.

Other options to spend more and move up to the $400.00 to $500.00 range.....
Sat-800 or used Drake R8 or new R-75
