  • Digital shortwave portable (dual conversion)
  • Coverage: 153kHz – 30MHz, FM (stereo with headphones)
  • 5 kHz steps on SW; LW: 3 kHz, MW: 9/10 kHz, FM: 50/100 kHz depending on freq range
  • 10 presets
  • SSB reception
  • Fine tuning for AM and SSB (officially +/- 5kHz, Radio Netherlands measured +/- 7 kHz, my estimate for my sample would be +/- 8…9 kHz)
  • External antenna jack (not in German version)
  • Rec out jack (mono, mic level), plus remote jack for tape recorder switching
  • Alarm and sleep functions
  • 1st IF: 55.8425 MHz (SW: 55.845 / 55.840 MHz, LW: 55.845 / 55.842 MHz)
  • 2nd IF: 455 kHz
  • A P/N comparison, confirmed by a look under the hood later, showed that the AM IF filter used is the same as in the ICF-SW7600G, i.e. a Murata SFR455I, which is a 6-element plastic cased ceramic ladder filter. Just like in the 7600G, a tuned IFT is used in addition, with an additional one being in use for SSB.
    Bandwidth (taken from an old Weltempfänger-Testbuch article, source and measuring methodology unclear):

    • AM: 3.5 / 10.8 kHz (-6 / -60 dB)
    • SSB: 3.4 / 10.2 kHz (-6 / -60 dB)
  • FM IF filters: 2x 280 kHz
  • Frequency synthesizer / microcontroller: µPD1715G
  • Spec’d battery life: 10 hours with Sony SUM-3 (NS) “heavy duty” (zinc chloride) batteries, seemingly referring to AM use
  • Output: 400 mW max @ 10% distortion
  • Dimensions/weight: 191 x 118 x 32 mm, 615 g (incl. batteries)
