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:

BDK - You almost of mastered RHF Speak

- a good tuning knob -is- A Good Tuning Knob. - Brilliant !

Before I edited, it made sense. I'm sorry professor, I screwed up.

The original was something like: A good tuning knob makes a lot of
difference in the enjoyment of using a radio. Even some expensive
receivers like the Drake R8 series don't have what I consider tuning
knobs.

Please don't give me a bad grade, professor!!

And kiss my ass in the meantime.

Overpriced, but a very nice receiver. You can get one for less.

And a classic:

Even though it only tunes in 100hz steps, you won't miss anything on it
either. I've owned a nearly identical one for almost 25 years. It will
never leave, until I do.
