Check with Universal Radio in Ohio - occasionally they have good used
products like Zenith T/O. And lots more of the new stuff.



T/O isn't quite the icon that it has been presented to be over the
years. It's certainly nice cosmetically, and the build is quite robust.
And audio is often very good. But, actual RF performance is mediocre at
best.

IF's are too wide, and RF stages are higher in noise, and lower in
sensitivity than other so-called 'lesser' radios. This is masked by a
cleverly designed AGC stage that maked the radio seem much more
sensitive than it is.

Make no mistake, I'm a big fan of the T/O. I've got 6. And I use them
regularly. Terrific vacation radios at the cabin.

But there are better radios, if you're serious about SW listening.
Especially with the superpower broadcasters no longer on the air, RF
performance is more important than it was when the T/O's were current
product.
