Roger,

First, thanks for the comments about me on your post. I've been a SW
radio listener for 25 years and I'm glad to help. I had the 909 and although
it's a good radio, I sold it and stuck with my 2010. The 909 pulls in weak
signals just as good, but the radio is smaller and not as good audio. It's
not as easy to use as the 2010 either. For pure reception quality, it's up
there with the 2010. It just seemed to be too small a radio for me. Sorry to
hear about the 2010, that's the risk you take buying off E-bay....
