I am new to shortwave and want to buy Sony ICF-SW7600GR. I would be
grateful if you give your valuable views on ICF-SW7600GR.

Thanking you in anticipation.

There is a good review here that will help you make up your mind:

I have the Sony and I like it but I don't know if I would recomend it for
someone just starting with shortwave. The reason is that you have to use it
with the wave guide or you will have trouble moving around the bands. There
is no button to do this and no idicator of the Meter Band on the display.
If you don't care about SSB reception the Grundig is fine for SW and is the
cheapest of the 3. I must say though that the Kaito 1102 is probably a
better radio than the Grundig and is fine for a beginner. It is smaller
though and the sound isn't as good as the Grundig.
