Pocket Radio (1984)

“I wish my pocket radio would look like a remote control.” Well, look no further. Sony has you covered with the ICR-S7. This compact unit has a Samarium Cobalt speaker, making it resistant to corrosion and guaranteeing playback in extremely cold or hot climates.

What is the FET direct mixer on the bottom of the radio referring to?

The radio is using an active FET (field electronic transistor) radio frequency mixer, which has the advantage that it can provide stable volume and a lower noise levels when compared to passive (non FET) designs.
