Sony ICF 6800W

Produced between 1978 and 1983, the Sony ICF-6800W has earned its place as one of the most celebrated portable world band receivers ever made. For years, enthusiasts have praised its exceptional sensitivity, distinctive tuning arrangement, and rare combination of RF performance and sound quality — surpassed in some respects only by Sony's legendary and far more expensive CRF-320. Radio Jay AllenCovering AM, FM, and shortwave up to 30 MHz with PLL-synthesized tuning and a digital frequency readout, it remains impressively capable to this day. The robust, solidly built cabinet reflects the very best of Japanese engineering from the early 1980s. A true collector's piece — and still a fully functional receiver for shortwave enthusiasts and DX listeners alike.
