Thanks to everyone for the information!

The Power Hour announced yesterday that they had some Sony short wave
car radios to sell. They claimed that they were the only source in the
US. The phone number was 877-817-9829. I think the price was 249.95.

Here's a link:

http://www.thepowerhour.com/news3/sony_radio.htm

I made an attempt to look up the specs on this radio and could not find anything
related to shortwave. The only thing the 'S' denotes in the model number is the
fact that it's silver in colour.

Buyer beware!

It does indeed have SW, though I can't find any detailed information from
Sony as to what frequency range(s) it has. This link does say it has 12
presets for SW, though.

I hate links that are only good once....

You need to go to the Sony Asia site, choose in-car entertainment, CD
receivers, and choose the model number.

Interesting! I had looked at that page, but didn't notice what you've seen. Click on the
specs however and it seems to make no mention of SW.

Apparently, it's not a major sellling point. Notice on the box on the
original link, it does say SW also.

FO&A,

Since the Basic Model Numbers are CDX-GTxxxS
http://www.sony.com.sg/productcatego...ite=hp_en_SG_i

All Three Compared - http://tinyurl.com/23cre3
1 - Sony Model # CDX-GT160S
2 - Sony Model # CDX-GT260S
3 - Sony Model # CDX-GT360S

Could the "S" at the end of the Model Number
simply mean 'Shortwave' ?

I would suspect that the Shortwave Radio Frequency
Coverage would be the same for all :
SW1 : 2,940 - 7,735 kHz = 120m, 90m, 75m, 60m, 49m, 41m
SW2 : 9,500 - 18,135 kHz = 31m, 25m, 22m, 19m, 16m
Except for SW2 the Frequency Range : 10,140 - 11,575 kHz
is not covered by these Radios.

eBay.Co.HK {Hong Kong} is an alternative source
for these Sony CDX-GTxxxS Radios
http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/sear...e=Sony+CDX-GT*

Example Sony Model # CDX-GT160S
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQitemZ220161510338
Price : £62.99 + S&H £22.99 = £86 = US$170

Also eBay Australia has some of these
Sony CDX-GTxxxS Radios
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/_W0QQitemZ190140690426
Price : AU$145 + S&H AU$45 = AU$190 = US$167
