Then again, is there a powerful FM transmitter very close, one cannot use the Sony well-sized, built-in telescopic antenna. In FM audio quality, I rank the ICF-5900W right next to world-band boomboxes such as the Grundig Satellit 600. The loudspeaker is of proper size with quite heavy a magnet, and the radio has treble and bass controls, both. For listening to one's favorite local stations, ICF-5900W is big fun. Btw, rather oddly, the radio has no long-wave band.ДЇM reception, then. This is the reason I discarded my ICF-5900W for, some 40 years ago. An efficient outdoor antenna fills the Sony MW band with birdies. Adding to the MW dial accurate up to some 10.15 kHz only, on MW the radio stands an external antenna poorly. On medium-wave, ICF-5900W is not for the serious DX hobbyist. Considering, the dual conversion receiver most likely was targeted for serious short-wave listeners, the lack of selectable bandwidth - a narrower one - clearly is a downside. Also, on short-wave, ICF-5900W copes beautifully, even with an external long-wire antenna very long. Even with the built-in telescopic antenna, I recall having caught plenty of domestic SW stations from around the world, in the transmitter power range of 10 kW and below.

The ICF-5900W short-wave sensitivity is among the best I have experienced in portable world-band radios, also beating many HF communications receivers of the '70s I experienced. Neither does the calibration and band spread cover them short-wave broadcast bands completely.ДЄnyway, combining the ICF-5900W sensitivity to it's accurate SW dial, for a short-wave receiver this radio is highly efficient. On medium-wave, the ICF-5900W dial is comparable to that of any decent portable radio only, in accuracy. Unfortunately, the band spread dial only works for SW.

Thanks to the crystal calibration and the band-spread dial, on SW the ICF-5900W is capable up to accuracy higher than +/-2 kHz. For an analog receiver, with an analog tuning dial, on short-wave the ICF-5900W is outstandingly accurate. ICF-5900W was one of the very last purely analog world-band receiver models, as the PLL synthesized receivers and digital displays especially, in late '70s already started to emerge. On the table, takes rather little space, though. More of a dragable, and not one to comfortably pick along for airplane traveling. The ICF-5900W is not too portable, as the radio is rather large, heavy and bulky. This I dare state, after my having been an HF radio enthusiast ever since the '60s, and having owned some 200 world-band radios and communications receivers, both desktop and portable.
