I'll go ahead on your recommendation---as soon as I hear back from Jacky's with
good answers to some questions. Their web site sure is "lazy," though.

And I *wish* I understood why Sony, as the only company with good-quality
inexpensive synchronous detection w/ selectable s/bm doesn't incorporate it into
these units. (I wish I understood why they discontinued the superb 2010, too, in
favor of these oddball models w/ weird interfaces and without the 32 memory
buttons.)

Perhaps they will do that one day.

The Sony shortwave in my car has worked flawless for years - even after I
submitted it to wrong voltages and such when installing it.

It's fine for listening to the BBC, Deutsche Welle, CBC, and actually much
weaker stations too. I love it.

I was thinking the same thing the other night when I was listening to a
talk show from a distant AM station on the car radio. Every time the
signal faded the audio became too distorted to understand. I'm hoping
that Pete's (KE9OA) sync' detector will be available in some kind of
outboard unit which can be connected to the IF section in a car radio.
