Digital camera reviews of Sony ICF-SW07 AM/FM Shortwave World Band Receiver with 100 Memory Presets
Digital camera Review: Aerial warning!
Summary: 4 Stars
Watch out!
treated this radio with kid gloves,used it very carefully and not often at all.
Felt very dissapointed the day i extended the aerial and felt it turning round and round and round;broken.hardly had it a year.
For the price I will not replace with a Sony and instead go with the cheaper Kaito or Grundig/Eton.
Sony doesn`t deserve another major handover of hard earned $$$`s.get it right Sony.
A very useful and handy radio that fitted great in a pocket and was what I was looking for.
but for that amount of money better quality please.
The SW Listners Handbook review stated that this was precisley a problem so I took extra care being aware of the potential.
Sony goodbye...
