I bought a couple myself, after having read the reviews. It is an astounding little gem.

I might tinker with the second one :- - direct or inductively couple a loop or longer ferrite (longwire via a buffer MOSFET or FET to protect the chip!) - use the SRF-59 at the top end of the AM band as an IF and AFsection with an external frontend for LW or SW. Just a thought... When using the SRF-59 barefoot for uldx, I use another receiver to identify the frequency. Michael UK

From: "triton1_uk" <Triton1uk@...> Sent: 23 April 2011 13:49 I was browsing through the http://www.dxer.ca/ website yesterday afternoon and came across rave reviews of the Sony SRF-59 Walkman Radio, so I checked on the Internet and discovered that they were freely available here in the UK. I set off to the local Comet store and found one at 20. . . . Now this is more like it. I was truly impressed with this little radio. It seemed as though it was as sensitive and selective as my faithful G5. . . . . . Anyway, I've waffled plenty long enough. Suffice to say, if anybody is thinking of buying one of these little radios, I can heartily recommend it. I mean come on. for a measly 20, you can't go wrong. I am now trying to work out a way to increase the reception on AM with a long wire or something, but I don't know if the headphone socket is connected to the ferrite bar or whether the headphone socket aerial connection is solely for FM use.
