Sony Corporation
Sony Corporation, (Japanese: Sonï Kabushiki Gaisha), commonly referred to
as SONY, is a large multinational conglomerate corporation, based
in Könan Minato, Tokyo (Japan). The company mainly focuses on consumer and
professional electronics, gaming, entertainment and financial services.
Sony is one of the leaders in the consumer and professional electronics
industry [1].
Over the years, Sony has introduced an impressive list of
Short-Wave Receivers,
also known as World Receivers, to the consumer market.
Although the features and frequency ranges vary wildly between
models
(and even countries), there are a few highlights. Radios like this were
very popular during the 1980s with short-wave listeners and radio enthusiasts,
but also with the international espionage tradecraft. They were used for
receiving coded messages
transmitted by the mysterious
Numbers Stations.
A few popular models are dealt with on these pages. For a more comprehensive
overview, please refer to Martin Bösch' pages about Travel Radios [2].

The ICF-2001 is the short-lived predecessor of the ICF-2001D.
Note however, that the two radios are completely different. The ICF-2001D
is a complete and much-improved redesign.
