Sony car shortwave radio?
I saw the specs once. You would not be impressed. If you are just
going to listen to the BBC, then satellite would be your answer. From a shortwave perspective, Sirius is better than XM. XM just has the BBC. Kenwood made a small DIN sized DC to daylight radio, with daylight somewhere around 900Mhz. The last one I saw on ebay was being sold by RadioMart (TM). I recall it was rare and most excellent. ;-) Thanks. It occurred to me that one thing to do would be rig up a power supply and external antenna for my Sony ICF-2010 and feed its audio into the front input jack of a newer-style car stereo. That would give me the audio amplification needed to overcome road noise, etc. The same could be done with the Kenwood you describe; my handheld VHF scanner; and other things. I'd like to hear from someone who actually has the Sony shortwave-compatible car stereo. I wish the price increment weren't so big ($250 for the version with shortwave, $100 for same features without shortwave). If it were just a small percentage of the price I'd go for it. |
