It's an AM-FM pocket radio,
sells at the SONY site for about $13.
When I bought it, shipping was free.


It must be a "next generation" radio.
Tuning, sensitivity, selectivity are excellent.
I live in southern Arizona, and on any given night,
I listen to San Francisco, Salt Lake City, Oklahoma City, etc.


I'm about to get an SRF-59. BCB DXers are using them and raving about them,
calling it "ultralight DXing." The SRF-59 does tune all the way to 1700
kHz.

Hey RHF, I think I have seen a site that a guy talks about modding
that particular piece out a little. I used to have that site saved but
I don't have it anymore. Kind of like the Lowbander of the 394 and
everyone (six-seven people I think) really noticed a difference or so
they said. I really don't know how much more you could jack that up
for performance though or if you would even want to. {?}
