It's true - it is an amazing little perfomer. Outperforms the Grundig Mini
300 and G1000A on mediumwave. Very thrifty on batteries too - I've been
listening for about 100 hours on the original set, still going strong.

I've always found it interesting the variation in MW performance amongst
pocket portables. What is it about this particular model that makes it
such a high AM performer, while models costing much more aren't - it isn't
as if Sony is aiming this at the hobby market or anything.

At any rate, it is certainly a worthy radio for anyone to have.
