Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Dave Zantow (N9EWO)<\/a>, who writes:<\/p>\n

You like to point out SW radios on TV shows. I caught a part of a episode of \u201cFamily Ties\u201d (Season 2 Episode 11, \u201cBirthday Boy\u201d) where Alex was given a Sony ICF-2001 (it was the original 2001 version of course). Time : 3:24 into the program. NOTE : It\u2019s actually a 1984 episode not 1982 as given in the video link ! About that time the ICF-2001 was discontinued (or was on the way out). Enjoy:<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
