what is a stereo tuner/ synthesizer ?

Is it just a radio? and id so why not just call it that.

My ignorance of stereo stuff is 100% so please keep this real simple

Thanks

    Sounds to me like a tuner (radio) with a digital display rather than an analogue tuning dial.

    I'm guessing you know what 'stereo' and 'tuner' mean. 'Synthesizer' means that it uses a frequency synthesizer (a phase locked loop) rather than a crystal. As far as the user is concerned this means that you get a nice stable frequency so you don't have to keep retuning it, and you might get a digital frequency readout. All radio equipment has been made this was for many years so it isn't really worth mentioning unless its very old.

    You can also use it to do 80's pop cover versions.
