At 149.88 this is a great deal for this radio. I use to own a Sony SW-100
which is similiar and that one also sells for over $300 new. Makes one
wonder if Sony is having a clearance on the SW07 and not going to sell it in
the future as it is way below cost.

Amazon has the Sony ICF-SW07 on sale for 149.88 USD. Isn't the list price
for this receiver ususally much higher (around 350-400 USD)?

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.

Holy $hit, that's a real bargain! Thanks for the heads-up. Not that I

really
NEED another portable, but for that price, what the heck ....

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.

I suspect the Amazon $149.88 on the Sony ICF-SW07
will sell out fairly quick as that is over 50% off the regular price and the
radio gets very good reviews. If anyone on here buys it, it is a small
radio, not the size of a YB400PE or Sangean 909....much smaller than those
two. It about the size of a cigarette pack.
