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

["R. Mark Barnett" <orgelkraft@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have the black SRF-39 and it works well. How is the clear prison model different? I always assumed they were identical inside.  I don't see much difference between MY SRF-39 and the SRF-59s I bought about a year ago... they seem very much the same. The build quality seems better on the SRF-39, but that is a subjective judgement. I don't know how much the newer SRF-59 models vary radio to radio off the production line, but mine are pretty identical... and they work great.
