As I say, I believe the 77 is a better-speced radio, but the 55 is
certainly
excellent. (My much older Sony ICF-2001D (exactly the same as ICF-2010) is
better still than the 55!)


I haven't owned either the SW77 or the 2010 but compared to any other
totable portable
it its size category (7600GR, YB400, Degen1103) the SW55 is by far the King.

If I had a choice however, I would go for the SW77 simply because of the
Sync Detector
which the SW55 lacks. Other than that I haven't read any other positives of
the SW77 over
the SW55 except for size differences if that is an issue for you.

Check these Yahoo groups. They usually have many good
links to reviews, sources and files for their respective radio:
