At THAT price I'd risk the purchase myself ! The antenna tuner feature
is what attracts me...anybody have one for feedback on that feature?

I ordered one from Liypn this week because I just had to try that antenna
tuner :-) I have a 200 ft long wire and a G5RV that I can hook it up too.
Either one of those antennas tends to overload just about any portable I've
ever hooked up to them. If the antenna tuner on the PL-550 has any merit,
I'll be able to tell for sure. Electronically speaking, I have no idea of
what it really is. My guess is that it probably works like a passive
preselector. When I get the radio, I'll be sure to post my review here once
I have a few days to use it.

I'm probably going to make my own pressure sensitive English labels for the
thing and stick them on there. I'm half wishing I waited for the US version
to show up, but I just had to get one ASAP :-)
