Well, I contacted Universal to ask why the AN-LP1 is not recommended for
the ICF-SW77. Their response was "it is listed as such in the users manual."
In fact, those exact words are all they said - no elaboration or details of
any kind (not even which manual they're talking about). As a result, I'm
left with my original suspicion - potential overloading from the antenna's
pre-amp (an issue mentioned on the Radio Neitherlands web site in their
review of this antenna).
