\"Sony-CF-560s-2\"<\/a>Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> reader, Jesus Leal, for contacting me and sharing photos of his Sony CF-560s shortwave receiver. I have never seen the CF-560s before. I\u00a0believe\u00a0the its\u00a0a relatively\u00a0rare receiver; indeed, I couldn’t even find one in the completed listings on eBay<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Sony-CF-560s-3\"<\/a>
\nThe CF-560s\u00a0covers AM\/FM\/SW and has a built-in cassette player\/recorder. Being a “boombox” style radio, I imagine the SW filter is wide and, when locked into a strong station, provides rich audio.

Mr. Leal, who lives in\u00a0the La Mancha region of Spain,\u00a0uses the Sony CF-560s for regular shortwave listening but also has a Grundig\/Eton Satellit 750 in his radio arsenal.<\/p>\n

\"GrundigSatellit750\"<\/a>Any other SWLing Post<\/em> readers have the Sony CF-560s? Looks like a gem of a radio. \u00a0The design certainly has strong 1980s nostalgic value.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
