Re: [IRCA] Review of Sony ICF-EX5 "Extra Sensitivity" Portable



Gary - 

I'd like to have a copy. Maybe you could send it to Nick Hall-Patch and get
it published in the bulletin?

Sorry you couldn't make it to Bruce's for the get-together last month.

Subject: [IRCA] Review of Sony ICF-EX5 "Extra Sensitivity" Portable

Hello All,
 
     The medium-wave portable DX receiver of choice in  the Japanese market,

the Sony ICF-EX5, is practically unknown here in North  America.  A direct 
successor to the highly sensitive ICF-S5 (and S5W), the  radio was strictly 
designed for the Japanese market, and is not offered for sale  here.
 
     For the club, a thorough review of this  ICF-EX5 was recently
completed, 
comparing it with the ICF-S5W, the  ICF-2010, and the ICF-SW7600GR models in

terms of sensitivity, selectivity,  synch detector operation, image and 
spurious signal rejection, and audio  quality.  Tests revealed that the
ICF-EX5 was 
highly sensitive indeed,  having an advantage over all the other models
except 
its sibling predecessor,  the ICF-S5W.  The review also contains a list of 3

supply sources, where it  may be obtained at a delivered price of $173.00
US.
 
     List subscribers interested in obtaining an early  copy of the 4-page 
report can request one by email to  _d1028gary@xxxxxxxx 
(mailto:d1028gary@xxxxxxx) , or by sending an SASE to  POB 1313, Puyallup,
WA 98371.   
 
 

  Thanks  and Best Wishes,  Gary DeBock (N7EKX)
