Default Differences Between Two of the Same Radio

Here's a question that I have often wondered about....

Let's say you have two of the same radio model... two Sony
7600GRs, two Kaito KA1102s, Eton E5s, Icoms, Kenwoods, etc. or
whatever...

How likely is it that they will both have the very same
sensitivity, selectivity, scanning sensitivity, (both stopping on the
same stations during a scan etc.) etc.??

Or will one of the two always be a bit better then the other? Both
a bit different??

CATO,

In general you should see very little {if any} differences
between two Radios manufactured around the same time.

Now if you have an older product model like an early
Sony ICF-2010 and one made several years latter :
You might notice some differences in preformance
due to component age and wear-and-tear differences.
