Anybody using the Sony 2010 for utility listening? How does it compare to a
good tabletop?

I've had a 2010 for a few years and find it not very good for UTES. The
tuning isn't sharp enough to zeroin on a signal tp decode.
A;most any good wuality tabletop receiver (Sat800, R75 etc.) will
decode without a problem.
Try to get a receiver with afew bandwiths and small tuning steps.
BTW most UTES are USB.

Yes, I would think the 100 hz tuning would be less than ideal for this.
Probably my only complaint with the 2010...it should have had a fine
tuning adjustment or at least smaller tuning increments.

It's good for "ear" utilities, but not for utlilities that require
decoding (fax, etc).
You can find them and then use your 'better' set with a finer
selection to feed your decoding apparatus (cw, rtty, fax).

I assume that you can understand voice and morse.

The radio is certainly stable and sensitive enough to work non-voice
utilities. The only shortcomings will be:
1. Filters are wide so close strong signals may clobber the one you
are trying to decode.
2. Tuning is limited to 100hz resolution, so there may be some
situations where finer tuning would bring a signal in. Much of the
time I think you will find 100hz resolution will work.

It isn't the best radio for UTE dxing, but it will work. A much better
choice for about the same money on the used market would be a Kenwood
R-5000 with 10hz resolution.

i tried it many years ago for UTE listening. it was OK for the
stronger ones, but didn't have the sensitivity and selectivity for
good UTE listening.

them via email for about six years.I don't undestand much about
Chemistry,but it is interesting to me.
