Default Re: Sony ICF-SW1 'overloading' on FM?

A long time ago I remember looking at various of the smaller Sony portables. I did not buy one because I found that they suffered from being easily overloaded. So there is the strong possibility that you have encountered a design issue.

At the time I was puzzled by this performance, as in many countries the radio service comprised 'local' transmitters situated in or near the relevant city. Hence being able to pick up weaker signals in the presence of strong local signals would have been a common need (or so I thought!) for the advertised use of the receivers.
