I have had a Sony SW35 for five years and although it has better reception than most analogue radios and is not much larger than a CD case I cannot recommend it. First, the five levels of magazine presets are counterintuitive and require a lot of practice and constant reference to the user manual. Second, the speaker is almost useless, a piece of tin that doesn't care for the $75 radio. Third, for the same price, you can buy a much more advanced Degen 1103 or its Kaito 1103 clone, which has a better speaker and stronger reception. If you want to spend a little less and get good reception with analogue instead of the more expensive digital, you might want to look at the Tecsun BCL 2000 or its more expensive Grundig S350 clone. I've tried many radios, I have a few, and I can assure you that for double conversion PLL synthesis digital radios, you can't beat the Degen 1103 or its twin, the Kaito 1103 (both cost around $65-$100, each after where). You buy). She). As a counterpart, you can't beat the Tecsun BCL 2000 at around $60, $40 less than its older clone, the Grundig S350. UPDATE: 6/15/07: Seven years later, my wife's grandma is enjoying my ICF-SW35 and I was impressed with the reception, especially in the mornings, so I have to give it credit.
