Which radio is better, the Satellit 500, or the Sony ICF-2010 (aka ICF-2001D)?
The easy (and truthful) answer is that both are good radios, and you really can’t go wrong either way. Most people would agree that the Satellit provides better audio, better selectivity, better FM performance (and stereo), and the option of Manual AGC. Its shortcomings include higher cost, and poorer sensitivity than the Sony. If you are going to try to chase distant, low powered stations the excellent sensitivity of the Sony would probably make it the better choice. If your emphasis is on a portable receiver with good sensitivity and great fidelity, the Satellit 500 is the way to go. Ha! Bet you thought I would try to dodge that question!
