I seriously thought it was a typo or some glitch, but it's still in stock
for $149.88. I did some looking around on the net today and the lowest
price I could find for it was around $350. I did discover that the SW07
isn't lised on Sony's webiste in the shortwave radio section so maybe it is
heading off into the production sunset.

As JIAW pointed out, it's not on the Sony website, although a few
other "world band" radios like the SW-100 and 77 are still there. My
guess is that it is discontinued and Amazon is getting rid of stock
they've had for awhile. Sony discontinued the revered 2010 and the
highly praised AN-LP1 antenna (a version of which comes with the SW07
for use only with that radio), and the word at that time was that they
were leaving the SW business. This is probably a continuation of
that.
