My prediction -- $599.00 for the 900. Quote me on it.

The Sat. 900 will probably cost as much, if not more more, than the
SW77/Sat. 800.

was in the Sony Style store in my local, just
nosing around. noticed they had NEW, not refurb
sw-77 in glass case. on sale- $399.95. i have not
really checked web prices on this radio. been looking
at the sat 800, as a desktop for the old hobby/radio/
computer room. the sony is larger than i thought; this
is the first time i've seen it in the flesh. i have
read what a few places have to say about this radio-
P.t.W.B.R. 2003 compares to the icf-2010. been using
the smaller portable's at home for years- RS-398, etc.
i don't take a radio on the road too often, so a larger
radio, i could tune with one hand would be nice. i mostly
listen to local BC, sw BBC types, little ham/ults. any
comments on the sony over the sat 800? would be used at
home with a long wire only. also, at my age the eye's
aren't what they use to be, so, a fair size readout would
be good... please post to newsgroup... thanks...

If I was in the market for a radio like the SW-77, I would wait to see
how the new Eton Sat-900 pans out. I might turn out to be the best
portable since the debut of the Sony-2010 almost 20-years ago. The '900'
will likely cost less than either the SW-77 or Sat-800.
