These vintage Panasonic RF-2200 receivers are really amazing in performance. For AM DX, you'll love the finely graduated linear dial scale and will find a station at nearly every 10 kHz stop. Easy to locate and identify station frequencies. FM receiver is top drawer with great full sound and wide tone range. Shortwave bands are solid with a very accurate tuning setup which allows you to pinpoint what frequency you are receiving. Don't expect to find a large amount of programming on SW these days. You will hear Ham activity, the BFO provides some help in resolving sideband signals.
In addition to the great technical performance it's a real beauty to look at with excellent styling and appearance.
Note: be advised that these sets are 40+ years old and will likely need an alignment to provide sensitive and accurate operation as it was designed.
problem with frequency selector, bent frequency knob, battery compartment has acid contamination, load noise when turned on some times it goes away sometimes not. I offered 10.00 just to keep from having to send back, thats all its worth, rejected.
Radio is the best AM portable made up to now. Tone is excellent and quite variable. FM is also very sensitive. Short wave also excellent, reads out to within 5 kHz of exact frequency cy, all bands, selectivity is excellent. Highly recommend. Seriously.
Made back in the years , when Japan was a world leader in making radios, perfect vintage example of a very, very well made unit!
Cannot be compared to today’s China made radios... Panasonic Vintage Rules!
