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. {?}

BCB LazySusan,

That would be "Dr. Xin Feng [PhD]"
-wrt- the Sony SRF-S83 and Sony SRF-S84

Note that Dr. Xin Feng is a former Chinese Rocket.
