I've had mine for over 30 years. You have a beautiful radio. You didn't show off the SSB, another very well done feature both upper and lower sidebar, which will also sync. The companion active antenna greatly increases the sensitivity, is smaller than the radio, with a long tiny cable that allows the antenna to be place in a window. The active antenna is powered by the radio's batteries or the radio's plug in power supply. Replacement ribbon cabel and brighter led lights are available, for a pittance. The sharp corners of the ribbon cable pass through can be rounded to prevent stress on the cable. You have a great radio. Enjoy! Alex KE5HYF
Had mine new since 2000, with known issues like a broken battery lid and the rubbery paint getting sticky and wearing off. There is also some contact problem with the power switch, causing the display light to go on and off when on AC-power. I Recently bought a similar size Sony XDR-P1DBP which is capable of receiving DAB+. To my surprise, that little thing also performs much better on FM than the ICF-SW100. Probably because of its digital signal processing. It has much, much better selectivity and sensitivity. Besides that, it sounds way better and the display backlight is much improved. The '100' just sounds thin. Still I'm going to keep the SW100 for old times sake and the occasional short wave listening.
Nice review. Just replaced the ribbons on my pre-notched version. Then cut a notch making it look as neat as possible to replicate the notched version. Also nipped off the top 1/4 of the battery spring to ease the strain on the battery hatch surround. The radio automatically switches from 9kHz to 10kHz depending on your time zone selection !!!!! How’s that for thinking by Sony. Got two more incoming as spares.
Hi. Thank you for this video.I agree about the SW100. As an update to the above, unfortunately, my SW100 is now starting to show its age. When I changed its batteries, recently,, a small piece of the casing above the battery clasp cracked and fell off. However, its still working reinforced by a high tech rubber band (non-dsp) 73s and GDX
Oxford Shortwave Log well my friend, you’re the one that called it the “magic box of tricks!“ And you could not have been more spot on! Absolutely an amazing radio no matter how small it is. Better than any new radio I’ve seen or used.
@North American Radio Guide Sadly Sony has fallen so far since those days. It's like they have just given up. I think they totally lost the plot back in the early 2000s. It's too bad Sony And Panasonic don't reintroduce these classics they would sell a TON of them at very profitable prices.
@@watershed44 ich habe das Sangean 405 ATS, leider ohne SSB, man kann also keine Funkamateure hören ! Der SW Empfang ist OK, ich kann Radio China oder Taiwan, Österreich sehr gut hören. LW ist auch nicht eingbaut, aber das ist auch gut für mich.
THE SECRET with this radio and others from the 90s, is to use an exact external antenna for the desired frequency. You can use the SSB feature to cancel noise with success sometimes, on the AM frecuencies. The lack of precise bandwidth control is a problem if you want to receive CW. This was a really handy radio if you needed to receive messages from home when you was in "The Field" as an intelligence operator (number stations).
WONDERFUL COMMENT Manuel! Thanks for all you said here. Just like a ham transceiver... your antenna is the most IMPORTANT part of what you're doing, I found Wellbrook and similar loop antennas very helpful in SWL! All the best Manuel and THANKS for your comment! Larry de K7HN
I bought mine in 1993 so I've had it for about 30 years. A great little radio that could have been better had it not been for the notorious battery door failure.
Did you sell it yet? I just picked up one from Europe and it has the “notched” area which supposedly is the newer corrected ribbon version, however, if you push the lid back too far, it cuts out and resets itself. Plus the light in the display is way too dim to read. Do you know anyone that can fix this reasonably?
Thank you so much. Make sure and snip the top part of the battery spring. One of the major faults of this radio is the battery doors will break because there’s too much tension on the batteries. It could definitely make your life easier my friend!
Well finally tried it out today very impressed with it and very well made i must say looks like its just come out of the box brand new not a mark on it lucky me.
I love my G5 , I have one that was new in the box and not an eton. Amazing radio, the kaito is the same radio believe it or not as the G5 inside, just a different interface on the front.
Martin Bösch 25.Aug.08 1 sony: ICF-SW100 (ICFSW100); typical failure Early production samples of this radio tend to fail, a copper ribbon cable connecting the lower and the upper part of the radio will be bent repetitively over a very sharp edge of the lid. After a while, the copper ribbon cable connections are likely to break, some of the keys will become inoperational, sometimes this will happen even to the on/off - button. Rarely the signal ribbon cable will brake. You might recognize the early ICF-SW100 sets by the copper connector, that can bee seen in the gap, in later models produced after autumn 1997, You see a black plastic cover over the connector and the lid mould has been changed. You might try to repair Your set using a file to dull the sharp plastic edges where the connector will have to get past. There has been a Sony repair kit for these early models with a different lid mould.
Hi from Scotland. Thank you for this. I recently bought a SW100 in reasonable condition. It was the later version with the notch to avoid the breaking ribbon cable problem. You also have to be very careful of the battery holder lid. It is known to break off with the batteries springing out! Nevertheless, it is an amazing little radio. In my opinion, a shrunken 2001D. I have posted a few videos of it on my channel. One little oddity I have noticed is that, contrary to what is printed in the instructions, if you extend the telescopic aerial, it certainly improves AM/MW reception! Did you notice this? Thank you and 73s
Be careful with the battery compartment door. It and particularly the housing in the case above it is fragile. I recommend that you do not store the batteries in it when it is not in use.. It's a bad design made worse by plastic becoming brittle with age. Despite this it's a great SW receiver. MW/LW not so good because of the small ferrite aerial. 73s
I have it, my late father is in love with radio. He even had that Sony walkie talkie lookie look World band. Would like to sell it all via ebay (Pristine and complete with box)
What is the best arrangement for 40-80 meter reception using a standard HF dipole on this radio? Do you use the plugin the auxiliary site active antenna site? Clip on to the antenna? etc. I have the extended antenna that clips on. Too bad I erased some of the print on the buttons when I used with mosquito repellent on my hand. Otherwise, mine is practically new and has been sitting in the closet for @ 20 years. I bought it in London Heathrow airport on impulse. I couldn't resist.

Overall, in the Sony line, the SW 100 in my opinion is better than the 55, better than I believe even the 77. Just a little below the IC 2010... and that’s saying an awful lot. Your point?? Because I didn’t do a one hour review on everything this does? I have this radio as well as the 2010. Many others. Also many ham radio Transceivers.

The ribbon cable or both cables between the 2 parts of the clamshell of the radio. They may have either a short or a break in them. This is a common problem to this radio unfortunately.

That could be the problem. Radios it sit for a long time like any electronic device can have capacitor failure especially. Charged up energy finally leaks out and the capacitor is destroyed.

Sorry Israel, that’s the only radio that I held onto when I sold off my shortwave radios to buy ham radio gear. I don’t think I’ll ever let go of it. There are many Sony ICF SW 100’s available right now on EBay.

Good luck on your search! Merry Christmas to you and yours and a happy New Year! Larry
About $100-$300 depending upon how much comes with it. If it has the box, instructions and all the accessories figure the high side. If it just has the radio and the radio battery door ISN’T broken, $100.

Does it work?? Verify it’s in working order because that’s really really cheap for one of these. These have two issues that you have to be careful of, One is the ribbon cable that connects the two parts, the second is the battery door. Sony put a spring that was a little too highly tensioned for the battery. Most owners cut back on the first part of the coil so it doesn’t put so much pressure on the battery cover. Make sure the battery door is not broken and get a video of the radio actually working. That would be my advice. An SW 100 is an excellent Radio but it’s worth a lot more than $50 so there’s something wrong there maybe. If not you’re getting a heckuva by!!! Let me know how it goes! Larry de K7HN

I only bought mine with the radio, not with the extra stuff that 1 has. You seem like a nice person so I wanted to check for you maybe check it out… The asking price is $239 for it. That’s not bad for what this does. If you can get it close to $200 I would jump all over it even at $225 I think it’s a good buy my friend.
@@HamRadioLiveShow Thanks for Suggestion. Dear Sir I am not a rich man. If you have any Sony Digital Radio with Shortwave give me as gift. Thanks
I got one to sell if anyones intreated?
