...;in fact I do not believe that the 7500 has ever been powered up by me. The 517 was the last to be used. The 2001A actually did alright for listening to a football game or casual "backround" listening; contrary to the TIC. I picked up the 419, and later the 240, for basically the same reason for when I was talking on the phone to a sports/music-minded friend; it has presets that made it easy to switch between listening to the sucky Dolphins and another broadcast Gary and I were talking about.
The 517 was the only one that I got (in an antique mall; priced $125, offered $100, it was accepted.) because I knew that it was supposed to be a good tuner. I used that for NPR's "Pipe Dreams". But due to really carpy signals where I live, I finally gave up on radio. There is a religious station next to the station the carried "Pipe Dreams" whose bandwidth was so wide the it basically made my station un-listenable. There is another station up in West Palm Beach that carries "Pipe Dreams" that I can receive fairly well (a better antenna would help; but, as I stated above, I have given up on radio) but its scheduled broadcast times do not coincide with my listening times. Now, if I want to listen to "Pipe Dreams", I stream it from the computer.
As to why do I have the tuners if I do not listen to them? Well, why do any of us have the stuff that we do?
Later Gator,
