Re: [IRCA] [ABDX] Question: Which Analog Sony SRF Walkman Would You Rate the Best ULR?

[Dennis Gibson <wb6tnb@xxxxxxxxx>]

The AM section died in many of the SRF-59s sold around the time the Ultralight Group got started. Mine did. I still use it for FM. Gary can tell you why. I don't remember.

I think he says the SRF-39FP, the cool looking clear For Prison radio, is the best. I have an SRF-49 and the 39FP is better. It's certainly unique.
