Re: [IRCA] New filter for the Sony SRF-M37V = a new radio!

["Ira Elbert New, III" <ien3@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

     I don't suppose an idiot like me could accomplish this modification, could I? I have a SONY SRF-M37, and while I like the digital readout, I prefer the SRF-59 as far as what it can get out of the air.
