[Lowfer] Portable receivers>need advise...

[Steven Brooks]

Mike,

I have had good results from the Sony ICF-2001 for receiving my own
beacon, several miles from my transmitter.  It has a 1kc tuning steps
at LW but it also has what Sony called a SSB/CW Compensator. ie. ->
fine tuning.  It allows you to fine tune the PPL frequency between
+10KHz and -10KHz, on a smooth turning dial.  It also has an AM antenna
adjustment that trims the antenna for maximum signal in.  I believe
these features were removed on the ICF-2010 model, that is still
available in stores.  I picked mine up off of Ebay for $85.00 last
year.  It came with everything original except the store box.

It was purchased based on Lyle's usage and recommendation in his web
site articles.  The 2001 was originally released by Sony in 1979 but
for how long I do not know.  It may be a few years old but it works
great.
