However, just because the radio was very popular and was produced for so long, it doesn't mean there is no way to improve it! I mean, we're radio enthusiasts after all!
Here's a link to get you to a copy of the Sony ICF-2010/2001d Resource File Maintained by MARE and presented to you as a public service. ONE MORE INSTANCE OF ANYONE LINKING OR PROVIDING THE 'DIRECT' URL TO THE RESOURCE FILE RATHER THAN THIS (or the Main MARE) PAGE ON A MAILLIST WILL RESULT IN US PULLING THE RESOURCE FILE -- PLEASE DON'T MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
A PDF version of the 2010 Owners manual as presented by SWLer Sriram Narayan (narayan@yahoo com [replace the space with a dot to get his real address]). If you have questions or problems with loading this file, you should contact him rather than us.... Thanks to Andrew Holliday for passing this tip on! (Be patient -- it tales a long time to load the 1.2 Meg PDF file!)
For those who just can't get enough of links to our favourite receiver....
(Here's
Sriram's 2010 resource page)
(And a neat technical reference
summary from MAREite Larry Russell!)
(Steve Johnston's take on some
improvements for the 2010)
(Dave Z (N9EWO)'s
take on the 2010)
and lastly, here's a link to the official Sony 2010 Spec page (Hit your browser's back button to return here). This link is no longer 'on the web' but this 'historical record' of a past web page is available from the 'wayback machine' a web service of some value. Check out the web archive for more info on this service!
