Re: [IRCA] Sony ICF-S5W vs Sony ICF-EX5

["Guy Atkins" <dx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Gary,

I didn't know there was another fellow IRCA member in Puyallup!

I'd not even heard of the ICF-EX5. It sounds intriguing...would be
interested to compare to my Degen DE1103 and Eton E1 sometime.

As most medium-wave DXers know, after Sony  discontinued the top-rated
ICF-S5W in 1981, it has never returned to the USA  market with a medium-wave
DX
specialty portable.  But a little-known fact  is that the Japanese market
has had
a phenomenally successful medium-wave DX  receiver sold continuously since
1985... the Sony ICF-EX5.
