Review on Studebaker SB2003 Retro Portable AM/FM Radio (Red/Black) by Carlos Massey

(*) These are improvements for SB2003, 3 improvements over the Studebaker SB2001 radio. The performance of the internal DSP circuitry is no different than the circuitry in the Studebaker SB2001. So if ease of setup isn't a huge issue for a human, buying a Studebaker SB2001 works the same as the SB2003 but with fewer tuning manipulations, and with knobs the SB2003 is easier to work with as they aren't as "thick" are like the buttons on the SB2001. But again, you can either prefer the design of the radio or the lightness. on which it can be adjusted or controlled using the SB2003's smaller control knobs. Headphone jack, something missing from ROM SB2001. The lack of a headphone jack wasn't a deciding factor in my purchase of the SB2001 as I bought it to listen through the speaker rather than lugging around a beefy radio to use some headphones. Having said that, I do like that the folks who developed this range of radios made improvements to the knobs, which was a big problem due to the difficult use of the SB2001. The SB2001 was a huge leap forward as the DSP circuitry was improved to address this issue. turned off (cycle off) on the SB2000 which was a radio, if left on to the end this does not happen on the SB2001 or SB2003. the same DSP circuitry but digital display for more precise tuning of weak signals. I currently have to play with the watch face as it doesn't "stand still" on weak AM signals and tends to turn the volume up and down when it can't pick up weak signals (I have the same issue with the SB2001- model), but at least it has a bit of selectivity, just enough to pick up weak signals on AM, which most analog or digital display radios can't.
