[bitnet.swl-l] AARGH! Is Sony ICF-7700 worthwhile?

postmaster@CUVMB.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU (12/26/89)

Well, my parents decided to disregard my request *not* to bi given a new
shortwave radio for Christmas; so I now have a Sony ICF-7700 portable
receiver.  (I had planned to pick up a Sangean ATS-803A or maybe a Sony
ICF-2010.)  So:  should I keep it, or should I have them send it back?  Is it
worth keeping?

(Second strike against them:  they also bought me a WRTH... the 1989 edition,
which is of course quite out of date by now.  Sigh.  But it's at least
partially usable, and I can get by with the frequency lists posted here.)
