Good comparison. The Sony is more modern in design and has a bit more finesse than the Panasonic, but then it typically costs about twice as much. If you focus on performance versus price, the Panasonic wins easily as it is equal in quality to the Sony for much less money. I also like the old skool design of the Panny, looks like it landed straight from the 1980s.

Thanks for sharing your experience but the cost of Sony is not as twice as much as the Panasonic.

@@ToolsElectroDIY In the UK the RRP of the Sony is £59, the Panasonic is £29.99. Same story in the EU, the Sony is a much more expensive unit.

The RF-2400D also has a glow in the dark dial tuning scale, the Sony does not ! The volume dial on the RF-2400D is great if you want a set volume without having to fidget around every time you turn the radio on which is great if you don't want to wake people up when you turn it on.

Не мешало бы ещё рассмотреть модель Филипс TAR 2506, он как раз примерно одинаковый по размеру и функционалу с этими, да и в цене также практически одинаков. Определяюсь между этим Филипсом и данным Панасоником для покупки

А какой диапазон вы планируете слушать? КВ и св ? Или ФМ? Я на пример не слушаю ФМ. В интернете я видел в продаже КВ,св (sw,mw-am) приемник Филипс . Модель и цифры я переписал на бумагу. Могу прислать эту информацию вам ,если надо. Этот Филипс имеет не только св ,но и КВ. И он большой с ручкой,а не карманный. У меня КВ,св,ФМ приемник sony icf 704 s,аналоговый.я слушаю Румынию,Китай,Корею,Испанию,Вьетнам ,и пару других стран на КВ ,и Румыния и Венгрия на св вечером .а на кв 22,19,16 метров это 13,15,17 МГц есть пару станций и днём . На св по вечерам также можно принять радио Польша ,Япония ,и Германии на русском языке. Я из Беларуси. Я радио любитель.

The dealbreaker here is that the Sony stubbornly uses 3 AAs, whereas the Panasonic wisely uses 4 AAs. Here is why: I hate it when any device uses 3 AAs; stores don't sell packs or 3 AAs, they sell packs of 4 AAs. So you use 3 batteries and what are you going to do with the 4th one? Sometimes you can find a pack of 6 AAs, but that's still not ideal. If you use Rechargeable batteries it's even worse. Many chargers do 2 or 4 AAs at a time, but won't charge uneven numbers. If you stick 3 batteries it will charge the first two but not the third. It's a mess. Newer charges can charge individually but you have to be careful to find the chargers that can do that. Still, if your device uses 3 batteries, what are you going to do with the 4th one? the first 3 rechargeables will be wearing out faster. It's ideal for your device to use 1, 2, or 4 AAs, but never 3. That way you can make full use of all your batteries, disposable or rechargeable. So I'd buy this Panasonic radio over the Sony.

@ToolsElectroDIY 3 ай бұрын

The advantage of 3 aa or aaa batteries is that you can easily convert the device to use a single 18650 li-ion battery with 3.6v nominal voltage. It could also mean Sony could potentially release a radio that runs on a builtin rechargeable lithium battery.

@kenjifox4264 3 ай бұрын

@@ToolsElectroDIY hmm… that’s another thing I don’t like: proprietary rechargeable batteries. 10 or 15 years forward and it will be impossible to find replacement. If that’s all your device uses then your device might as well be dead. On the other hand, standard replaceable/rechargeable AA batteries are never going to go out of style. Devices that use them can truly last.

I have a doubt on this comparison. Sony I'm afraid is a DSP tuner radio, while Panasonic that you are comparing is 2400D (Analogue). Panasonic 2400DD is a DSP version of the same model It would be fair to compare Apples and Oranges I guess. An ideal comparison would be between Panasonic 2400D vs Sony ICF10
