I guess that's why it didn't seem very significant to me that there a slight
amount of drifting, having first used analog radios for years long before
digitally-tuned ones. I'll bet that with many digitally-tuned radios,
there's drifting too, back and forth, only, because the display stays fixed
at the frequency you punched-in, you don't notice it.

I really don't consider a very slight adjustment to the shortwave frequency
every once in a while to be a big deal. For example, listening to the BBC
last evening, on 5975, after an hour or so, the display showed 5974. That's
the kind of drifting we're talking about.

You're right, it does drift a little. That doesn't bother me. I guess it
might be because I was brought up on analog radios. Touching up the tuning
is second nature to me. At least with the digital readout, you know which
way it drifted.

I love the sound quality, plus the fact that I can use the wide bandwidth
setting even on most distant MW stations, even when there's another
station 10kHz away.

Plus, I live in a really bad area for FM. There's so many transmitters
nearby, nearly every radio overloads and all but the strongest local
stations are lost in mixing products. The BCL-2000 does show a little bit
of overload, but I can listen to FM stations 60 miles away and even
further, which is a real achievement.
