Battery Compartment No. 3-899-501-01 The Sony ICF-SW1 is a compact, portable shortwave radio from 1988 to 1998. It features a variety of advanced features, including a digital tuner for precise tuning, and a built-in speaker for listening to music and news from around the world. The radio also includes a variety of other features, such as an alarm clock, sleep timer, and battery-saving function. It is also equipped with a headphone jack for private listening and an external antenna for improved reception. It's a great option for those who are looking for a portable, high-quality shortwave radio that can be used for travel, and outdoor activities, or as a backup emergency radio. The Sony ICF-SW1 is a miniature short-wave receiver that was manufactured by Sony in Tokyo, Japan around 1988. This radio is also known as a travel receiver or a world receiver and was intended for the civil market, but it was also used by spies and agents for the reception of Numbers Stations. Despite its compact size, this receiver offers a range of features that make it ideal for travel and spy work. The receiver measures only 11 x 7 x 2 cm and weighs no more than 225 grams, batteries included, making it one of the smallest in its class. The radio is powered by two internal 1.5V AA-size dry batteries, which provide a decent amount of operating time, but it can also be powered by an external 3V DC source. By using an optional cable, it can even be powered by a car battery, making it ideal for use on the go. The Sony ICF-SW1 is suitable for the reception of narrowband and wideband AM and FM signals, but it does not support Single Side Band (SSB) signals, which may be considered a serious shortcoming by some. Nevertheless, the radio is most suitable for travellers, for example, for the reception of the (BBC) world service on shortwave radio bands. During the Cold War, the Sony ICF-SW1 was popular among spies and agents who used it to receive coded messages broadcast by mysterious Numbers Stations. The radio's sensitivity and compact size made it ideal for such purposes. The radio's small size, coupled with its sturdy construction, made it easy to carry around and operate discreetly. Despite its many features and excellent reception quality, the Sony ICF-SW1 was eventually succeeded by the SW100 in 1994. Nevertheless, this miniature short-wave receiver remains a favourite among collectors and amateur radio enthusiasts alike, and it still enjoys a loyal following among travellers and adventurers who value its small size, portability, and durability.
