I use the AN-LP1 with my SW77 with no problems.

I've heard lots of stuff about the SW77 + LP1. I've heard that the
early SW77's had shielding issues that were rectified when it was
revised a few years ago. I've also heard that the LP1 was revised a
few years ago with a electrical noise filter that is supposed to be in
the long piece of plastic that plugs into the antenna. I would think
that, if any of these changes were indeed made, that the SW77
documentation would have been updated by now. Who knows...

Whatever the case, PWBR states they have had no problems with the SW77
+ LP1.

I'm picking up a Sony ICF-SW77 soon and now have to decide on an antenna.
I'm hoping other owners can offer some useful insights. Of course, a nice,
big, outside antenna would be nice, but this receiver is for travel. With
that in mind, what is a good indoor, compact, portable antenna?

Why does Sony not recommend using the AN-LP1 with this portable? The only
thing I can think of is potential overloading from the antenna's pre-amp.

Thanks for any assistance offered.
