K9SW: Many years ago, sonny, many radios had analog tuning and a digital
readout. State of the art back then!
Please refresh my memory, Dave OM. Since 1945, I've worked on many things,
military and civilian, made all over the world, and I don't recall any. I'm not
referring to features like that of the Collins R390, which is just a mechanical
version of the Grundigs. I'm looking for a real analog dial and real analog
tuning, but with a digital readout a la the Grundigs.
Tnx es 73,
Bill, K5BY
My Kenwood TS-830 is one such animal. Has both a lit analog, and
digital readout. And, the readout on the radio itself is a true freq
counter, and always reads correctly. Most newer radios, the counter
can read anything...Accuracy depends on the alignment. The external
VFO-230 has only digital readout. Being my main readout is true, I can
use it to set the external VFO...
Both should track identically
when operating normal. But the 830 is a ham rig. Not good for a
SWL...
I have seen SWL radios with both though. Seems Yaesu made
one...Maybe kenwood also... MK
