Re: SONY ICF-S22 and ICF-390 'cheap' radios& ICF-B08 -FARMERIK

I started looking into which SONY chip different radios have, but I found SONY made/makes a huge number of chips used in radios and even small radios may have several. They also renamed chips as

Re: SONY ICF-S22 and ICF-390 'cheap' radios& ICF-B08 -FARMERIK

Both are easy to tune, and the '390 may be the winner of that contest,but it is too large to be an ULR. It does drive a corner Klipsch designed folded EV horn speaker very well, and with a mid size 14

Re: SONY ICF-S22 and ICF-390 'cheap' radios& ICF-B08 -FARMERIK

Re: SONY ICF-S22 and ICF-390 'cheap' radios& ICF-B08 -FARMERIK

On the ICF-S22, the exposed part of the thumb wheel tuning is just under a full inch, and it takes three full passes to get across the tuning bands. So three inches of thumb wheel travel gets you

Thanks for the info on the new radios! They look like they might be future items on my wish list! Question about the ease of tuning ... I have the SRF-59 and the SRF-49 radios. I don't use them as
