I'm not normally a Digital SW fan, I like analog receivers, Zenith transistor Transoceanics, Panasonic RF-5000 and the like. Analog radios get much longer life from their batteries. and has less background noise. but i found this cheap and was pleasantly surprised on reception with batteries, although i need a sony wallwart, my universal RS powersupply makes too much noise to make DXing possible.
I kinda like that Sony still makes radios in this series. I wish Zenith was still in the shortwave radio biz, we might have been up the Royal 9000 with digital tuning, preset memories and panoramic display by now!
