The Sony ICF-SW77 offers sophistication not previously seen in portable or tabletop receivers. On the performance side of the equation, this radio offers several useful circuits. A built-in programmable RF tuning unit allows the set to track a signal from the time the antenna first picks it up, while cutting out other signals. This reduces interference. The SW77 incorporates a band pass filter that splits each band into five smaller bands, thus virtually eliminating interference from outside the band. Fifty Hertz tuning resolution permits precise signal tuning for maximum clarity (LCD resolution is 100 Hz). The advanced synchronous detection circuit effectively addresses the two biggest problems on shortwave: fading and interference from adjacent stations. The SW77 is also rich in features. Station Name Tuning is now a reality. 162 memories are available to store your favorite stations including: frequency, name (to six characters) and program times.
