I have two very good digital tuning shortwave radios, one with synchronous
sideband, but I find myself choosing to play with and listen to the little
analog tuning portable I have most of the time. I like to be able to scan
the bands by hand with the dial and to see where I am. When I let the
digital do this automatically, it just doesn't seem the same. I just don't
derive the same pleasure from the digital tuning, and I have no plans to
ever be a part of digital radio.

Anyone else feel like that? Maybe it's because my first shortwave was in the
1960's.

I still find myself longing for the RadioShack DX-160 I had to sell
several years ago. No digital tuning, but the SOUND was GREAT! If I
want to zero in on a particular frequency, the digital tuning is a nice
thing to have, but if I just want to turn on the radio and listen just
for the sheer enjoyment of hearing the program, that old DX-160 was just
perfect.

Soon as I get some spare cash together, and get out from under some
bills, I think I'm gonna hit the TRW Swap Meet, do some surfing around
eBay, and see what kind of a bargain I can find. I have the perfect
place for it all picked out and ready....
