I still have a lot of analog radios, but I haven't "surfed the dial" in 
many years.  However, I do know that I used to like to do that on the 
shortwave bands when I had an alalog shortwave radio.  Since I got a Sony 
2010, with a digital display, I haven't done that very often, even though 
it has a tuning knob.  Sometimes, I turn on an old vacuum-tube 
Hallicrafter's with an analog dial when I want to surf.  But as much fun 
as it is, I must concede that the reception for listening is better on the 
Sony.
