Older Panasonic SW
 

Hi gang,
While this radio is not exactly a boat anchor, I figured this group
would know of it. Back in about 1982 or 83, Panasonic offered a table
top general coverage receiver. It used a PLL type system for the LO.
It had a large knob on the front that selected 1MHz increments and
another knob that tuned within the band. It may have also had some type
of lock control that you had to fiddle with when changing bands. I
believe it had 2 internally mounted speakers, one at each end of the
unit. Does this description ring any bells? I'm looking for the model
number and if they ever show up on the used market.

Thanks!

No, but the RF-3100 on the same page as the 2800 might be it.....
