The Classic Sony ICF - 7600 D SHORTWAVE RECEIVER

General information

• Digital shortwave portable (dual conversion)
• Coverage: 153kHz - 30MHz (German version: up to 26.1 MHz only)
• 5 kHz steps on SW; LW: 3 kHz, MW: 9/10 kHz; FM: 100 kHz
• 10 presets
• SSB reception (not in Middle East version)
• Fine tuning for AM and SSB (+/- 5kHz, 55.395 MHz osc)
• External antenna jack (not in German version)
• Rec out jack
• Alarm and sleep functions
• 1st IF: 55.845 MHz
• 2nd IF: 450 kHz
• AM IF filter (earlier models): Murata CFW450H ceramic filter with 6 elements, probable specs (may not be entirely accurate!):
  • -6 dB bandwidth: +/- 3 kHz (6 kHz spec'd is a tad wide, this usually means way beyond 7 kHz real)
  • Selectivity (@ -?? dB): +/- 9 kHz
  • Ultimate rejection: 55 dB
  • Insertion loss (max): 6 dB
  • I/O impedance: 2 kOhm
  Additionally there's a tuned IFT plus one tuned IFT each in front of the AM and SSB detectors.
• AM IF filter (later models): Murata SFR450I 6-element ceramic filter, specs and performance likely to be the same as for the SFR455I except for center freq (i.e. 4 kHz spec'd bandwidth, more like 7 kHz with a shape factor of ~2 real). Additionally there's a tuned IFT plus one tuned IFT each in front of the AM and SSB detectors.
• FM IF filter: Murata SFE10.7MA5-A 2 pcs., 280 kHz (yup, the 7600G still uses basically the same type! Check there for replacement types)

Condition is not bad for a radio made in 1983 ,althought the keys are a little yellow but all work ok.

Cosmetically i would say a 6 out of 10 with no scratches.
