> ICF-SW35 has been on sale since 2000, ICF-7600GR since 2001. This means
> SONY will completely withdraw from the shortwave receiver market.

> Remaining SONY shortwave receivers are ICF-EX5MK2 and ICF-M780N,
> both are exclusively for the reception of Radio Nikkei, tunable to
> only 6 fixed shortwave frequencies of Radio Nikkei, Japan.
