I recently bought one of these radios. First impressions were good..lovely radio, very well built. I'm more of a Yupiteru chap and I found that programming this radio wasn't as straight-forward as a Yupi.Downloaded manual from web..bit of practice..Simples.
Excellent sensitivity and rejection of breakthrough/interference.
This is a proper Old School receiver so don't expect digital reception or other fancy stuff.
Just enjoy Airband VHF/UHF and HF aswell.
Glad I bought it.
