I have one myself that is about 10 to 12 years old, and use it often.

I haven't used it much in the last 7-8 years but do keep batteries in it in
case of power outages but I bought a 2001 (not the D) used about 15 years
ago and it's still going strong, looks used (actually it looked used when I
bought it) but it's still doing it's thing. Rob Mills ~ Tulsa

Hi,

The 2001 is also a very good little radio. For portability, it is a
preferred set. It is unfortunate that Sony no longer manufactures these
types of radios. I am not to impressed with their newer models compared to
these series of sets. The same is for the Panasonic as well. Naturally the
ultimate type of receiver, is to get an Icom, Drake, or something along that
line. But, it is also a lot more dollars.
