Hello,
I bought a Sony 2010 radio years ago and i still think it is one of
the best receivers I ever owned.
Very good on SW as well as BCB . Aircraft band is the only
disapointment on this radio.
Anyone have one and still use it routinely?

The 2010 was an awesome receiver. Very sensitive, ergonomically
delightful and it handled external antennas pretty well, excluding the
static blowout problem. I thought it would always be my favorite
portable, but then I bought an Eton E1. The 2010 was the King of
Portables for ever 20 years. Now, the crown has been passed to the E1.

Mike,

You are absolutely right about the E1. Its audio quality and signal
stability are incredible. Shortwave stations broadcasting from
thousands of miles away sound like local AM banders. The E1 truly
rivals and possibly surpasses some tabletops.
