That's when the hysteresis in the slow tuning knob will start to annoy
you.

On the plus side, it's the best sounding SW portable south of the
Satellit 800. The performance on MW is excellent. Battery life seems
pretty good....


You're right, it does drift a little. That doesn't bother me. I guess it
might be because I was brought up on analog radios. Touching up the tuning
is second nature to me. At least with the digital readout, you know which
way it drifted.

I love the sound quality, plus the fact that I can use the wide bandwidth
setting even on most distant MW stations, even when there's another
station 10kHz away.

Plus, I live in a really bad area for FM. There's so many transmitters
nearby, nearly every radio overloads and all but the strongest local
stations are lost in mixing products. The BCL-2000 does show a little bit
of overload, but I can listen to FM stations 60 miles away and even
further, which is a real achievement.
