I bought an SW-55 in 1996. I had researched a little about both the 55 and
the 77. My understanding was that the 77 was the better radio.

However, the 77 wasn't available in New Zealand so I ended up buying the 55.
I still have it. It has travelled much of the world with me and is an
excellent performer, especially for its size. I have DXed all manner of
things with it.

As I say, I believe the 77 is a better-speced radio, but the 55 is certainly
excellent. (My much older Sony ICF-2001D (exactly the same as ICF-2010) is
better still than the 55!)

I see both the Sony SW 55 and SW 77 on ebay. Which is better? Why?
