SONY Japan declared in January that they ended the production of ICF-SW35
shortwave receiver. They also declared in February that they end the sales of
another shortwave receiver ICF-7600GR at their on-line store. Probably they will
declare the end of its production soon. 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. (Takahito
