As I say, I believe the 77 is a better-speced radio, but the 55 is
certainly
excellent. (My much older Sony ICF-2001D (exactly the same as ICF-2010) is
better still than the 55!)


I haven't owned either the SW77 or the 2010 but compared to any other
totable portable
it its size category (7600GR, YB400, Degen1103) the SW55 is by far the King.

If I had a choice however, I would go for the SW77 simply because of the
Sync Detector
which the SW55 lacks. Other than that I haven't read any other positives of
the SW77 over
the SW55 except for size differences if that is an issue for you.
