I have one, it's missing large segments of the HF spectrum. Tuning is
lousy. Guaranteed to get you in an accident trying to operate it,

Heh. this radio caused you an accident? wow.

Do you use the pre-sets?

Mine has a low and a high SW band. The "gaps"
are between 7740-9495, 10140-11575, and nothing
above 18135.

Tuning is either "scan and stop at strong signal,"
up/down by 5Khz, or use the preset buttons. There
are 6 presets for each SW band.

Not a DX'ing machine, but works great for bringing
in a few broadcasts (for me anyway). I use mine
whenever I'm in that car-- usually in the morning on
the way to/from jogging in the park. I have presets
set for R. Australia, BBC, R. Canada, R, Sweden
DW and R. Netherlands. These come in OK in
Atlanta using the car's original external antenna.
