MR,
Technically: you are right, You Are Right. YOU ARE RIGHT ! So you may have the only Sony ICF-2001D (Without "SSB" Selector Buttons) that 'exists' in North America. But at least for now a Photo/Image of the Sony ICF-2001D (Without "SSB" Selector Buttons) does 'exist' on the WWW for a several days. where, Where. WHERE !

There are at least 6 versions of the ICF-2001D/2010 with different frequency coverages and inclusion/exclusion of SSB. Clearly you have bought a version without certain features, quite possibly one designed for use in part of the Middle East. Versions of the radio with Airband coverage have a small additional PCB, which makes the addition of this capability almost impossible. If you find that you do not have the full LW/SW/FM frequency coverage then this can be restored by removing or adding (I am not sure which) solder bridges on one of the printed circuit boards. If you are brave, then it might be possible to modify the case and two buttons for USB and LSB. You need to start by getting a service manual. I recall reading somewhere that somebody had done this but I cannot find the details. You would need to do a lot of investigating first. Finally I suggest joining the icf2010 group at Yahoo groups, and looking through the archives 73 John KC0GGH |

There are about 4 different versions of the 2001D/2010, all are
covered in the Same Sony Service Manual. If it doesn't support SSB, it is the Saudi Model, which also won't have an operating air band, and has some holes in the coverage from 1-30Mhz in some strange places. The variations all involves features and "holes", and in general, if you have the service manaual, you can re-enable the missing features by installing/removing the jumpers that control them. So while all 2001D's are not necessarily the same as a US 2010 model, all CAN be made the same.....

No, what happpened to me was entirely my fault. I knew that there were 2001D's out there without the Air band, but I didn't know that there were versions without USB/LSB. All the seller did was say it was a 2001D in excellent condition, and posted an accurate photo that showed the lack of Air band button and the missing USB/LSB buttons. If I looked carefully I would have asked questions BEFORE I bid. What you got was the version for Saudi Arabia, it lacks SSB, Air Band, and also has some holes in the HF coverage as well. If you can find (or purchase), the 2001D/2010 service manual, you can get those features back. They have been disable by installation or, by removal of jumpers. |

He said it doesn't have the USB/LSB buttons, so even if he does restore the jumpers, how can he get SSB? -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
