Have you ever used a decent quality analog radio?

We're talking about the current crop of portables, Frank.



You made strong, unqualified statements. I thought it seemed clear I was
asking about what you know. Here's a complete quote from the post:

"No doubt about it! AND, you will miss the analog display for about 2
seconds."

That's interesting! How did you know the original poster won't miss the
analog display? Such an unqualified statement is much more than a guess.
Are you the original poster? Do you have psychic abilities? Did you take
one of those courses from Maj. Ed Dames or Sean David Morton?


"The cheapest portable I would consider for any type of use is the Sony
ICF-SW35."
"Analog dials are dead! In this day and age, why rely on tooth floss to
turn
a dial?"

Why? Well, this is quite a shocker, so I hope you're sitting down. Analog
radios get much better battery life than digital radios. It's true! And,
if battery life is the most important consideration in the purchase of a
radio, an analog radio is likely to be the BEST choice.

Hey, ya learn somthin' new everyday, huh?
