Title: FM portion died after only 3 years
Product review: Bought this radio to use on board my boat for general FM radio reception and picking up shortwave weather broadcasts from the National Weather Service and Coast Guard. The radio had seen light use, mostly at home and more recently on the boat, but now the entire FM portion of the unit no longer works. In fact, since I've owned it I've never been able to pick up any shortwave signals at all. To be fair, I'm no shortwave guru so I maybe I'm not setting it up right. After going to Sony's repair website, they only offer repair on an exchange basis for $150... a brand new radio is about $130!Otherwise the unit was OK, not great. FM reception was good while it lasted. Bummer, I expected more from Sony.
