Oh that right, a good friend of mine in St. Louis had the ICF-2001. I don’t think there was much of a difference. This group people would always be the first to buy a new Sony. Thanks for the correction.

That’s no problem, I screwed up my last on AF tube amp so I took it down, redo it soon. I don’t know why I thought of this now but in the early 70′s I started working for a big phone company and had only been working there for two months maybe. A regional Central Office supervisor stops to inspect the office as I was running orders. He told me that the reason the phone company hired him was that he had never made a mistake. I looked up and blurted out, “are you in the Guinness Book of Records?”

Bottom line, DXing …
Bottom line, DXing (Distance Xmitter) is a systematic search of all AM frequencies. Sometime shortwave stations ask for reports from there listeners, and sometimes have listening distance contests. Experimenting with different antennas to try and receive a signal from the most distance transmitter. Monitoring Sun Spot activity to determine which bands will have the best propagation. If you want more information, Google DXing. It’s a very interest hobby.

I hate to anwser questions with questions but, can you tell me what DXing is?

No it’s not stereo FM that was a few more years down the road. DXing was its main purpose.

Nice Unit, I like that tape output jack, is that in stereo? id hook that right into the line input of my computer and record, BTW that sounds fantastic is the earphone jack stereo or no?

Grundig makes …
Grundig makes really nice radio. The sound quality is quite good and the radio is very stable. Do you do any DXing? Very good idea to have an emergence radio. Even more important now that the portable battery TV’s will not work after Feb. 2009.

This radio is so easy to use, you don’t really need the manual. Thanks.

I have not …
I have not specifically searched for longwave beacons, do you have any? I search everything. One day I thought I had found a Progressive Rock/UFO station. It turned out to be Radio Netherlands. Thanks.

I think you’re right. My new portable has more memory to store stations and can scan at 1kHz. But the Sony is more sensitive, the important part, and the SSB is rock solid. Thanks.
July 4th, 2009 at 5:31 am
Thanks. In all …
Thanks. In all those years, there’s no noticeable change in its operation. I think that is remarkable.

about 3 years ago, …
about 3 years ago, I won a 50 dollar online gift card from Pepsi. I thought, I don’t have a shortwave radio in my collection. I purchased one of those Grundig radios thats about the size of a deck of cards. It works amazingly well and even has FM stereo and an alarm clock.
I also have 2 magnavox extension speakers that were made in that strange triangular shape from the 60′s. I plugged it into one for whole house sound during a power failure at one time.

That radio sounds great…the scan feature looks very convenient for finding sw stations.

Do you have any longwave beacons? How well do you hear them on this radio?

In some ways they haven’t improved much on tis have they? Looks like Sony got it right from the start. Nice that it came with SSB capability.

I used to have one, and wished I still had it. Great receiver!
