You probably know Joanna Lumley, but you may not be aware that her husband Stephen Barlow is a famed conductor, composer and musician - and the pair of them are passionate about classical music. On this, their new podcast, the pair welcome you into their home for a personal, fascinating and funny journey through a musical world. So I’m good now. Hooked to my di-pole now. It’s the middle of the day here and I tuned to some stuff on the 19 meter band that I can get all day everyday with virtually any radio I have. Sure enough SW reception is working. I’ll have to amend this “First Impressions” report later once I’ve had a chance to listen to some SW and MW at night. I can say FM works great. I have flipped all the switches, and pushed all the buttons, and spun all the knobs and everything appears to be doing what it is supposed to be doing. TECSUN S-2000 is an AM Dual Conversion radio receiver for listening to FM, Longwave (LW), AM / Medium Wave (MW), Shortwave (SW) and VHF Air Band, and it is Single Sideband (SSB) capable.A host of other user friendly controls include a handy signal attenuator, squelch, RF Gain, large VFO tuning knob, an S-Meter, and other nice touches like 2x BNC outputs for use with external antennas, a stereo line output, and wide & narrow filters fitted. Of course one can obtain the same result by rotating any ferrite rod equipped receiver – but who wants that hassle? – and it is a cool and useful feature Auto Sorting Memory: Sorts all stored stations according to frequency and removes duplicate station frequencies. I live in a central business district with truly awful reception conditions that I can receive anything at all on any of these radios is a tribute to their excellence.

Digititus on AM: Many modern DSP radios reveal spurious tones and noises on the AM band. Early samples of the SAT750/S-2000 revealed some of this digititus although it was generally not very bothersome…I’m happy to say that my latest sample showed none of this problem. Good! Like the 660, the S2000 uses a BFO – best frequency oscillator – to fine tune SSB. In addition the S2000 has an Antenna Attenuator, RF adjustment and squelch as well as volume and tone controls to help you squeeze the best listening from your receiver. lunch box sized revamped 880. Comes with a do-it-all remote. Very good audio. On SSB tunes at 10hz, as does the 880 and 990/990x.Now, I can’t say this is a bad thing but it has two external hookups for an FM and a SW antenna. No that’s not the bad thing…………..but they are female BNC connectors. I haven’t seen a BNC connector in a lot of years. Again I’m not saying this is a bad thing I just found it odd. However inside the box in the manual bag are 2 male BNC connectors that you can solder a 50 or 75 ohm coax cable to so that’s pretty decent of them. With its supplied rod antenna and ferrite bar it performs well. Hooked up to a good external antenna it can perform very well. The radio is a little smaller than I thought however that matters not to me. Just from pics I imagined something larger. I assure you that is just me.
