I really like my Sony 2010, even for SSB utilities. The 100 Hz
resolution seems to work well for about 98% of the SSB voice
signals, but I wonder if anyone has had any luck copying CW, RTTY,
FAX, NAVTEX with a decoder?


Here's a photo of me decoding TASS RTTY with a Sony ICF 2001D and a
Commodore 64 in 1988. The frequency shift was possible using the on
screen display. The interface pc board had an on board CW filter.

Good old TASS RTTY! I had an M6000 decoder years ago and monitored
them via Cuba.

Back when there were still a few news services using SW.


Same here. I used to get the news from mainland communist China, North
Korea, Libya and Cuba among others. Needless to say I was speechless as
to the difference between those broadcasts and the USA news media
reporting.
