Adnan, the Sony receivers you were referring to are the ICF-2002 which sells for about $200 and the ICF-2010 which sells for about $279. I own the 2002 and I'm very happy with it. It is very small and easily stuffed in a briefcase or suitcase for travelling. I'm also happy with its performance. It is quite sensitive even with the internal whip antenna and really does well with an outdoor antenna. Of course being a small portable radio it lacks features that a desk-top radio would have like noise blankers, switchable if filters, etc. I don't know too much about the 2010 other than it is the big brother to the 2002 and offers more features. If I were going the spend the $200 for the 2002 I'd probably just go the extra $79 or so for the nicer radio. (When I bought my 2002 the 2010 was just a sparkle in a Japanese designer's eye somewhere). Good luck and I'm sure you'll enjoy either radio. Al, WA2TMP Tektronix, Inc. Vancouver, WA
