[net.ham-radio] Request for comments on the Sony ICF-2002 SW receiver

hpk@vax135.UUCP (mh3510) (11/01/83)

I am considering the purchase of a Sony ICF-2002.  It is a synthesized
PLL receiver.  Like the ICF-2001 it has no tuning knobs, only a keyboard
for frequency entry and "up" and "down" scanning buttons.  My intended
usage is for casual listening.  The major difference between the 2001
and the 2002 is that the 2002 is tiny - about 1/3 the size of the 2001.

Has anybody have experience using this receiver, or its predecessor
the 2001?   Whats it like not having a tuning knob?
