I'll go ahead on your recommendation---as soon as I hear back from Jacky's with
good answers to some questions. Their web site sure is "lazy," though.

And I *wish* I understood why Sony, as the only company with good-quality
inexpensive synchronous detection w/ selectable s/bm doesn't incorporate it into
these units.

Perhaps they will do that one day.

(I wish I understood why they discontinued the superb 2010, too, in
favor of these oddball models w/ weird interfaces and without the 32 memory
buttons.)


The Sony shortwave in my car has worked flawless for years - even after I
submitted it to wrong voltages and such when installing it.

It's fine for listening to the BBC, Deutsche Welle, CBC, and actually much
weaker stations too. I love it.
