Anyone have an opinion on the "Super" 909 located at

?


A number of people do not seem so happy with their modified 909s.
Particularly battery life (yet worse than stock?!) and SSB tuning appear
to be issues (still reading in the DX398 Yahoo! group what exactly the
problems are, suggest you do the same). Also, it doesn't surprise me
that the blue LEDs are rather dim using rechargeables - they need a
higher supply voltage and are not very efficient either (partly because
the human eye is not as sensitive to blue light; orange or green usually
works best). On the other hand, if you're using the thing mainly for
listening to AM stations with mains power supply and an external
antenna, it's supposed to work rather well, with better sound than
stock.
