I have gotten conflicting information from various sources on the Sangean
ATS-803a.  (One of them may have caused me a small problem:  my parents were
told one thing about it, and got me a Sony ICF-7700 instead.  I am, so far,
not convinced that it was the right one to get... but it's too late to return
it.)  So:

(1) I have heard from some reports that the Sangean has dual-conversion.
    Other sources (including what my parents were told...) indicated that it
    was single-conversion.  Which is it?

(2) Does it have digital tuning?  This one is less clear, as the descriptions
    I've received include features that I would expect to be easier to get
    with digital tuning (frequency memories, in particular)... but I'm told
    that it's analog tuning.  [I'm not talking about keyboard entry of
    frequencies, I'm talking about the display.]

Certainly, I could ask around here, but asking the net gets me the ability to
print it out and take it along if I (or my parents) decide to have a small
talk with whoever seems to have misled them.

Thanks in advance,
++Brandon
