It makes perfect sense to have to guess at, or calculate, the frequency
you're tuned to, when it would have been just as easy to actually display
the actual frequency you're listening to?


There is no guessing at all. The dial looks like this:

9 . . . . 9.5 . . . . 10

etc., and it's perfectly calibrated.

Yes, digital is better, but this is one the best analog tuning radios ever
made. I *much* prefer tuning an analog radio to a digital one. Way less
noise, and just a better "feel".

Look, I have lots of radios he E. H. Scott Allwave 23, a Drake R8,
Grundig Satellits 650, 700, 800, 2100, Grundig YB400, Grundig S350, Tecsun
BCL 2000, Kaito/Degen 1102s, Panasonic RF-2200, etc. etc. Digital radios
are great for identifying a signal's exact frequency, but nothing beats an
analog radio for just tuning around to see what's on!
