Analog, but not a boatanchor? Hmmm. Panasonic RF-2200?

Why do you want an analog rig?


The digital tuning seems to miss a lot of minor things, in-between the
channels. An analog tuning dial is more fun to spin (as long as it stays
where you leave it).

RF-2200 looks interesting, tis a shame any I'd find would already be a
quarter-century old.

Oh well.

You've apparently used cheaper/older digital radios. With up to one
hertz tuning resolution, there isn't any missing anything. And a good
tuning knob is a good tuning knob:


One of the problems with digital radios is noise floor. You will never get
as low a noise floor on MW/HF with a digital radio as you can with a good
analog.
