Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
The Sony ICF-SW12 World Band Receiver travel radio is an 11-band world time travel clock radio with digital display which lets you listen to a worldwide range of radio frequencies at home and abroad, including FM, AM (MW), and shortwave bands one through nine. With its small and lightweight design (just 8.19 ounces, with batteries), the Sony World Band Receiver travel radio with a folding cover is easy to pack into your luggage or to carry on board.

While perfect for use at home, the ICF-SW12 is loaded with advantages for the traveler. It features a universal time coordinator with built-in LCD light, which lets you set into memory the current local times of major cities around the world and the time difference between your location and any other. There's also an alarm with a snooze feature.

An earphone jack is included for discreet listening and for improving sound clarity under loud conditions. Expect about 35 hours of operation from the two AA batteries required to power this radio, and an included long-life lithium battery ensures continuous clock movement. Its antennas include a built-in ferrite bar for AM (MW) and a telescopic antenna for FM and shortwave. A shortwave guidebook is included.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I was looking for, 11 Nov 2003
    By Elizabeth Taylor "Barsine" (France) - See all my reviews
    (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
    As I travel a lot and like to listen to world service I was looking for a small portable radio, with a built in alarm clock but which also received short wave. Thats easier said than done as radios seem to have gone out of fashion and everyone seems to sell gadgets with too many features. This radio fitted my requirements perfectly, its lightweight, tiny, folds in 2 so is more resistant to falling on the floor, has a little snooze light so you can check the time in the dark and gets excellent short wave reception. You don't even have to change the time as you tell it the time zone and the time adujsts automatically.

    What I really liked is that everything is manual, no annoying electronic features that take you 4 hours reading the manual. The sound quality is also very good for such a small device and certainly sufficent for world service, though probably not for someone who really wants to focus on music. I bought this for a studying holiday in Rome and it really served its purpose of allowing me to listen to the local radio and foreign stations, it now travels with me everywhere. The only negative point I can think of is that the noise of the alarm is very irritating but then perhaps its supposed to be.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Super little good quality radio, 23 April 2009
    This radio / alarm is simple and intuitive to operate, is very small and light for travelling and, being Sony, sounds full and clear (for a tiny speaker).
