Is this radio as good as many claim or is it just the hype of a new
radio? Where can I find one and how much are they going for?

Gil:
It's mostly hype. The radio's claim to fame is the low price. The radio
will not compete with high level portables and shouldn't for the price. It
might make a great starter radio for someone.

If this $75 radio will not outperform my $1700 Drake R8B, it seems
hardly worth building.
